Sweet Tilda

At last I have finished another Tilda. My dear friend Patti Jo gave me this stamped image and I think it will be one I will be getting. I think she is adorable. I made this for another dear friend who is 93 today She is actually an artist so I hope she likes this card. I have coloured her with distress inks.
The flowers are simple ones that I have made and put some stickles on.

Distress ink colours.
hair:  walnut stain, antique linen and black soot
face:  tattered rose and cheeks worn lipstick
dress:  stormy sky and dusty concord
shoes: stormy sky.

You can click on the images if you need to see them bigger.

Oh adorable! My favorite color is blue so this just made me smile. You colored Tilda fabulously and I love how you flipped the embossed folder to display the opposite side.
