Cute Sidestep Birthday Card featuring Magnolia Tilda...


Good morning friends...I can't believe how time passes me by so quickly and I was not feeling good last night yet I was able to make this rather awesome card that I've been planning to create for the past 3 days...Well, that meant sleepless night...LOL This is my entry for:

1.  Just Magnolia Challenge featuring Birthdays
2.  Sketchy Colors featuring Pink, Red and Turquoise
3. Creative Card Crew  featuring Celebrations
4. Crafty Creations featuring Cut it out and Pop it up
5. Delightful sketches featuring Kids Theme 
SIDESTEP BIRTHDAY TILDA CARD:
This Magnolia Tilda image was stamped and hand-colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol (my favorite coloring technique).  Also love the very cute sentiment from Inkadinkado.  Tilda is sitting on a cupcake decorated with swirls and stickles.  The cupcake was cut from Cricut Home Decor cart while all the other die-cuts came from Cricut Celebrations cart.  I've had this cartridges for over a year and this was the first time I've used them..  I'm glad I did as they turned out well.  I matted the die-cuts with black card stock and they sure added some depth to the cuts.  This is a fun style card that is very 3-D. I love it a lot although it takes time to make but well worth the effort.


SIDESTEP BIRTHDAY TILDA CARD (TOP VIEW):
I am proud of how this card turned out...The "Happy Birthday" die-cut is cut from my QuicKutz (Squeeze) that I purchased several months ago at Hobby Lobby for 10 bucks (that's huge sale).  I just love the Moxie style dies that came with it.  Finally, I was able to use it too...I love it!

SIDESTEP BIRTHDAY TILDA CARD WITH ENVELOPE:
This is an A2 size card but it will not fit the regular A2 envelope due to all the embellishments so, I made a special envelope for it and just happy that this time, I didn't have a lot of difficulty with the measurements compared to the first time I had to make my own...Phew!

Anyway, this is all for now and time to get some lunch and sleep later on...LOL  I am such a night owl that my days and nights are reverse...I am thankful to the Lord as I am feeling much better after running a fever last night.  Thanks for the healing, Jesus!  You all have a fun day and please leave me a comment if possible...Love to hear what you have to say.
