Hello Little Butterfly



Good morning everyone! I adore this sweet Tilda from the Butterfly Dreams Collection. I think she is my favorite! I found the perfect dp, which is really wrapping paper I found in a box my mother had in the closet. This may be 30 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too bad there was only a small sheet of this gorgeous paper!!!
Tilda is colored with copics and the lace and flowers are all from my stash.
Thank you for visiting .....your comments are always appreciated. Love and hugs, Christina

    OH! Chritina, this is soooooo sweet & precious. This paper is awesome, and perfect with Tilda. You colored her wonderfully, bringing life in your card. The lace is totally beautiful. PURE MAGIC of a summer day...like a dream that perhaps will materialize for us!!!!!!
    Have a wonderful day dear friend. Hugs.

    Hey Christina - LOL! When you said that you found the paper and it belonged to your Mother the first thing I thought was well just how old is that beautiful paper!!!! It is gorgeous. You must be the Queen of Lace. What a beautiful light touch you have with your coloring - beautiful Christina! Your card is gorgeous and I don't know what I like the best, your Mom's paper or your coloring of this sweet image.

    Oh, Christina,
    Thanks so much for coming by and leaving me a little bloggers love! You've made my day. I haven't been doing many Maggie cards but you have inspired me to get back into the loop. I just love all the new Tilda stamps. The one you've used here, I've never seen. (That's how long I've been out of the loop. lol) Great job on your card. Has a real vintage feel about it.
    Blessings to you from Georgetown,
    Leslie

    Another card to put a smile on my face. Tilda sure looks cute how she is looking at the butterfly. I also love the butterflies on the rediscovered wrapping paper. You know I so love the soft colors.

    Hey Christina! This is so precious, my friend! This is my favorite too from the last collection too and she is such a joy to color. You did an amazing job coloring her and those papers from your mother's closet are definitely perfect. So unique and somehow old times magic! Love the two tones lace and the gorgeous rose! Everything matches perfectly! Beautiful work!
    Enjoy the rest of the week!
