Hello Everyone and Happy TGIF! My card for today I made to order. It is a Valentine card and I thought 'Tilda blowing hearts' from Magnolia is a perfect image. I colored her using Distress Inks and Copics. So this time I combined both of my favorite coloring mediums. I used the Copics for the grey shadow outlining Tilda. Everything else is distress ink. The sketch I used was from 'Just Magnolia' Challenge blogs last weeks challenge. Unfortunately I was too late submitting my card in time. For decorations I cut some hearts from my DP using my Cricut and adhered them on top of each other with foam dots. Then decorated the hearts with buttons, scrappers floss and Stickles. The tag is cut out using a Spellbinder die and the sentiment is computer generated. I also did some sewing on the outside of the card. On the inside I used my Martha Stewart deep edge punch 'Garden Trellies' and 'Heart Lace' border punch. Image on the inside is from Magnolia as well. My

I added some half-pearls, pearl flourishes amd ribbon for decorating. DP is from Basic Greys last years Valentine collection 'Bittersweet'. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Froehlichen Dienstag wuenscche ich allen! Und noch eine Karte mit einem neuen Image aus der ' Sweet Thing
