Tilda with tulips


I bought some new stash a couple of weeks ago so thought I would use some of it on this card. I also found lots of bits and pieces I had got through swaps etc so I don't know the names of most of the bits and pieces on this card i.e die used for the butterfly and swirls
I used inks on my die cuts to change the colours to match in with the colour theme I aso spritzed them with sparkly mist and then stickled them
I have coloured Tilda with my Promarkers
The ticket and DP were bought from Ebay no idea ehat they are called.
Anyway I like this card I think it has turned out "pretty"

I am going to enter it into
The Ribbon Girls Challenge which is Pinks and Lilacs
Moving Along With The Times 2B's mine are butterfly and bow

I went to my local docrafts store to stock up on glue and craft dots and lots of other goodies fell in to my basket also! like the yummy paper on this card
