Aries Tilda ♥

Hello! Happy Friday to you!

Today I am back with a card using Magnolia's Aries Tilda from the Zodiac Collection 2014.

I have coloured with Distress Ink re-inkers & markers, and masked her together with the old one from Magnolia called Goblin Grass.

The gorgeous papears are from Magnolia, the paper edges are distressed using Tim Holtz tool and also inked with Distress Ink, to get that shabby vintage look.

The berries are from Magnolia, and the cotton paper flowers are from Petaloo.

The pretty flowers and leaves are made with Sizzix Dogwood Flower dies.

I have colourd them with Pan Pastel, then also added some Liquid Pearls and grass pearls to the center of the flower.

For my tag, I have used Magnolia's DooHickey die called Tilda Tag and fastened some seem binding from The Ribbon Girl which I dyed myself with Distress Ink re-inkers, Victorian Velvet & Bundled Sage.

I have used the delicious goodies on my card from The Ribbon Girl online store:

50mm Vintage Printed Pink Rose Hessian Ribbon, White Seam Binding(which I coloured with Distress Ink re-inkers), Natural Button Twine, Melissa Frances Petite Frames Assortment, 25mm 'Jacqueline' Ivory Fine Vintage Style Lace, Daisy Flower Charm, 3mm Sugar & Spice s/a Pearl Flatbacks, Liquid Pearls Petal Pink, Sticky Tape and Cheesecloth.

Medium: Distress Ink re-inkers & markers, Gesso, Frantage Shabby Pink - Stampendous, Liquid Pearl, Pan Pastel
Stamps: Aries Tilda - Zodiac Collection 2014, Goblin Grass - Martha & William Spring Collection
DooHickey's dies:Tilda Tag, Leaf & Swirl
