TOMIC and MIC Challenges

The inspiration for this card started with the Make It Colourful Challenge - Create Blades of Grass. I was particularly inspired by the FABULOUS picture by Chris Dark, their guest designer. So I picked up my paint brushes and distress inks and here is the result...


I used just about every green shade of distress ink in my possession. I wanted a lot of contrast and shadow with flowers in a beautiful field for Tilda and her lamb. I also included some Scattered Straw in the field. Tilda's jumper is a blend of Worn Lipstick, Tumbled Glass and Chipped Sapphire. Her shirt is Scattered Straw and Barn Door.


 Stamps: Tilda With Lamb
Paper: Nature (K&Co)
Accessories: Stick pin, beads, cheese cloth, flowers, pearls, rhinestone flower



 I love to add beaded stick pins. I think they add a nice flair.


Once the picture was done, I wanted a sketch challenge to give me a good base for the elements. I chose the great sketch from the TOMIC Challenge, and will be entering that challenge to use the sketch plus fabric.


Thanks so much for stopping by today. Have a great week!

  17. I just love your card. The grasses are gorgeous and the DP match perfectly with Tilda and the grassy background. I have been wanting to try the grass field and I saw it in one of the Magnolia Ink Magazines a while back, you inspired me to try it. Your card is gorgeous!

  20. OMG Julie this is stunning, it takes my breathe away looking at such amazing detail, I am afraid if I had made something as beautiful as this it would be framed and treasured forever, this is fantastic. I stamped this image to use in the Totally Tilda challenge, but mine is nowhere near as good as this.
