Special Birthday Cards Featuring Tilda

I have many birthdays in March and April, so I stay busy making cards during these two months!  I want to share with you the birthday cards I made for my mother, sister, and my dear friend Nuria from Barcelona.  I decided to use Magnolia Tilda for the cards, as she is so darling and versatile.  I used Copic markers to color Tilda.

This is the card I made for my mother....



... and for my sister.....


... and for my friend Nuria!

    1. Hi DonnaKae,
      April Violets has a story...it's actually the name of a fragrance by Yardley of London, and was discontinued many years ago. This was my favorite scent when I was a young girl, and it invokes many memories for me. Every now and then someone will come out with a reproduction, but it's never the same and is very diluted. Thank you for your comp0liments on my blog!

    1. Hello Rene,
      Thank you for your kind words....Magnolias are recent for me, and I just started coloring them to make cards just earlier this year. For the time being, I am depending more on the design print of the background paper, and adding simple touches, like the pearls. Maybe soon I will experiment with more embellishments, like so many of the cards I see have LOL!

    1. Hi Suzan,
      THANK YOU for your compliments! For the time being, I seem to gravitate towards using designer print papers as backgrounds, and adding a touch or two.
