Birgitta

These Swiss Pixies sure have found a way into my heart. I just adore them all!!
This sweetie is Birgitta. I just love how sweet she looks with her flower. 
Thought she'd make a very cute thank you card for my Flutter By Wednesday.

Onto my card~

supplies:

• card size: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
  
• stamps: Birgitta, Studio G sentiment,
  
• paper: SU cardstock, Basic Grey Marrakech,
  
• ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, SU Creamy Caramel,
  
• others: copics, December Sky shimmerz, large labels nestabilities, SU ticket corner punch, Fiskars threading water punch, copic glitter pens, cappuccino bella baubles, glue dots,    
  

What I did:
I stamped Birgitta in Memento ink onto my cardstock twice. I colored the entire image with my copics on one of the images and then only the flower on the other. After I was done coloring I cut out the flower and popped it up on pop dots for some dimension. 
I painted her wings with December Sky shimmerz. After the shimmerz dried, (which it dries fast), I cut out Birgitta with my large labels nesties. With the nestie still in place I sponged SU creamy caramel ink around the image. (Yes, I'm hooked on this technique). As for sponges, for this technique I've found that cutting a makeup sponge into little pieces works well since it's a smaller area.
I used SU cardstock to match the ink for the card base. Then cut and sponged ink onto the designer paper. I also used my SU ticket corner punch for the corners of my designer paper. I added the middle band and used my Fiskars threading water punch on the designer paper and again sponged ink on all the edges.
I added some embellishments, touches of copic glitter pens here and there, and then finished the inside by adding a strip of designer paper and a  sentiment. I also put the main image on foam tape so it would have some dimension.

Sweet Tilda with Rose

I colored this yesterday at Jennifer's. I just love the Magnolia Tilda's--have I mentioned that before? LOL!

Since she was colored I thought it would jump start my creativity by creating a card with her. I cut her out and am happy to report I'm getting so much better at that! No one-her or me--was hurt in the process!!

My dear friend, Ann, sent me some of the SU Top Note diecuts for me to try. I can see I will have to be getting this die at some point, so fun! Thanks again, Ann!!

I was going to add more to this card but decided I liked it like this so there ya go! LOL!
