Tilda on the Ritz

                                                              
Hello everyone.... I was looking through at some of my earlier efforts with Tilda cards, and came across this one.  At the time I wasn't really happy with it, but I now can look at it more objectively.  I colored Tilda with Copic markers, and I have a bad habit of not recording the colors, so I can't say which ones I used, except for the hair (Cool Grays).  I embellished the dress with gold embossing, and also embossed the swagger trim on top.  Her tiara is glittered.  I call her "Tilda on the Ritz" because she looks fabulously wealthy LOL!

    Wow she is all glamourous! Beautiful paper with her, they go perfectly together. Your embossing is very pretty too. I love how you colored her and her gloves, so cute. Beautiful card.

      Thank you so much! I let myself be "directed" by the colors of the background paper.

      Hi Paula,
      Thank you! I hate to sound ignorant, but what does DP stand for?

    Ooh, I don't even remember this Tilda. Dee, she is very glamorous with her white gloves and all. Your card looks elegant. Tilda is beautifully coloured. Love the background design and your pearly flourishes. Love the card!
    Hugs,

      Hi Norma, and thank you for your compliments! This image is called "Tilda Dancing", for your information. She looks more to me like she's making a curtsy LOL!
