Don't Ever Give Up... On Spring!

Or my Sunday posts!  Happy Sunday!  A little late but Tilda is always worth it!  So is Spring.  Eventually even those of us in Alberta, Canada can expect to see it.  Hard to imagine as last week the grass on my lawn was visible and two days later we had a huge snowfall! 

This week on Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog we would like to see texture.  For my card I wanted several different textures so I distressed, sewed, dry embossed, wet embossed, added flowers and floral netting, and dazzling diamonds - WOW!  Tilda in Windy Weather is perfect for our mixed-up Spring:



I followed this week's layout at Sketch Saturday.  For added texture I dry embossed the dark teal layer.


The sentiment is stamped and then covered with versamark ink and embossed with clear powder.


The raindrops were treated to Stampin' Up! Crystal Effects for added gloss and dimension.  Tilda was coloured with copic markers and her cheeks were pinked with chalk.

Copic Details
Skin: E0000/E000/E00
Hair: E50/Y21/Y26/Y28
Hat/Shoes: E41/E42/E43/E44
Flower: Y17 G21/G24/G28 (tip to tip w/G28)
Gloves: BG0000/BG10/Blender
Dress/Hat Trim: BG0000/BG10/BG13/BG18
Umbrella: E50/E53/E55/E57

The inside of the card continues with the same sentiment set from the front of the card.


Tilda will be entered into the following challenges:

Papertake Weekly - Truly Dimesional (Tilda is popped up with foam squares)
7 Kids College Fund - Easter/Spring
Cute Card Thursday - Weather Inspired
Secret Crafter - Stitching
Stamptacular Sunday - Favorite Magnolia (haven't met one I don't like!)

Thank you for looking!  I look forward to seeing how you incorporate texture on your Paper Sundaes challenge entry for your chance to win a $15 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp! Remember to check out details of my blog candy on my 'Cooking with Mom' post.
