Lilac Tilda

Its spring day here in SA and this has been a very sad time for my family since 1981 as this would have been my brothers 49 Birthday today and since the 1st September also marks the begining of spring, its almost an oxymoron.


To cheer myself a little i have been having loads of fun coloring my little Bee Tilda and since i made my card so 'VERY" lilac the last time i used this "Mellissa Francis" dp i thought i have to redeem myslef as this dp is so beautiful.

You will see that i even took the time to take a piccie of my copics that i have used, i glittahed!! all the edges of the dp and even gave my little bee some glittah on her wings and antenae, i used a MS punch for the panel across my card, my sentiment was cut with one of the cuttlebug cut and emboss folders and generated on the computer using "Bradley hand font" one of my favourites.

I have also made a suitcase to put my easel card into and a little vanity for the gifts.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Christmas stamping all year long : who wanna see anything but Christmas
CES: anything goes
Crafty cardmakers: glittah and sparkle
see you on the morrow
