More Tilda Cards

Hi everyone! Hope all of you are doing very fine upon visiting my blog. My 2 kids got sick with flu and hubby isn't feeling well atm. DS2 Jared is actually well now and ready to go back to school tomorrow but my little Jhetro is still sick. He's got cough and colds along with fever. We actually brought him to the doctor this afternoon and we're told to just continue with the paracetamol we're administering to him.

These 2 Tilda cards were created last weekend. My kids were sick and it was very calm and silent in the house, they're just resting in their beds and somehow I was able to make cards while looking after them. But I'd rather make cards while they're running around the house than seeing them just lying in bed and sick. :(

The first Tilda is a birthday card for my niece who will be turning 11 this July 9. I used a RAK image of Valentine Tilda from Bec. Tilda is originally holding a heart image but I decided to cover it with a paper rose instead. I poked a hole on the heart image using my paper piercer then adhered the paper rose. The rose was actually white but I just coloured it with the same blue marker I used with Tilda's jumper. The markers that I used with this one is Bic Mark-It but I used Copics to colour her face, skin and hair.

The next card is just an everyday card. I coloured Tilda with Copic markers and made her brunette again. LOL! I think she looks cuter in brunette. Don't you think so? I used a background ink from Hero Arts to stamp my flowers (behind the sentiment) which is a stamp from Darkroom Door Essentials 2 Collection. I then stamped the sentiment onto it using my Darkroom Door -Melody from their Music Collection. I believe the image and the sentiment fit perfectly well. :)

The bench where Tilda sits on was made using the Spellbinders bracket. I just embossed it using Cuttlebug embossing folder to add an effect. The rest is self explanatory.

Okay, have to study and do some writings now as I will be sharing about the prophet Hosea this coming Friday for our Bible study. :) I have one requested card to make but apart from that, I won't be making any cards not until I'm done with my Hosea report. :)

Thanks for visiting and pls pray for my darling son Jhetro for him to get well soon.

God bless us all!
