Happy Monday, y'all! It has been a busy and piping HOT day here in FL! My boys are doing soccer camp this week and it is blistering outside. I feel terrible for them that it is so hot. Also, we went school clothes/shoe shopping today. Clothes shopping for a 14 yr old girl is PUNISHMENT I tell ya! She likes nothing and you about have to bribe her to try anything on. We did luck out and finally find some jeans that fit her nicely. It is a struggle with her b/c all of her friends wear those 'skinny' jeans and she is very athletic and they do not look good b/c they are too tight on her legs. When you try to tell her that, she thinks she's fat...Oh well I cannot win! But, my Mom laughs b/c she says it's payback because I was the worst to take shopping!
Okay, enough about my rant....I have a new Maggie card to share with you! Some of you may recognize this card. It was featured in Suzanne Dean & Marti Wills scrappy magazine Through the Craftroom Door for a sewing tutorial in the July/August Issue. If you have not subscribed, you should consider. It is chocked-full of inspiration and cool tips!
This card features Flying Tilda in all of her magical glory! I cut the stamped image out using my Octagon Nestabilities and layered her on a scalloped piece. The cardstock is some retired SU and the DP is some Basic Grey Urban Prairie. I airbrushed the Prima flowers with some Copic Markers and added some pearls to the center. The sentiment was computer generated and punched with a SU punch and finally airbrushed as well.
Here is a close-up of her. You can see her sparkly wings. I loaded them up with lots of Stickles! Tilda was colored with lots of Copic Markers (oops, forgot to snap a pic - sorry!)

This is just adorable and I love the dp you used. Your coloring is wonderful and those sparkly wings are delightful. I like the way your framed your image and then added the floral bouquets. Great job...

Awesome Card, I love the colors that you use. OMG her hair and wings are beautiful. Very nice.
Thanks for Sharing:)
Hi Tori. Ah yes, I remember shopping with a teenage girl. Not a lot of fun! The card, however, is wonderful. I love her fabulous wings and all the colors you used are just fabulous. I never knew that Nesties came in octagons too, and the octagon works so well over the scalloped piece. Thanks for all the details. They really help the rest of us.
Gees!! a teenager is not too far off in my future and I have to girls only a year apart. YIKES!!! Anyway your card is adorable. I love the unique stitching. Great card!
Love your card!! You have coloured Tilda perfectly and I sure like the sparkly wings. Pretty paper too :o)
Hugs, Candy
