Magnolia Tilda with rose lace dress

Hello crafty peeps!  I'm back again, gosh this is becoming a habit, albeit a very good habit.....Lol ;-)

This evening's card is made using my Cricut and the Storybook cartridge, I really must make an effort to use my Cricut more often, I've got loads of cartridges that haven't been used and there's ton's of wonderful shapes on most of the cartridges that would make lovely shaped cards.

Tilda with rose lace dress has been coloured with Copics, and as usual, heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

The patterned papers are Anna Griffin, The sentiment and banner are Tonic. Spellbinders dies.  The larger postcard is a Lili of the Valley stamp, the smaller postcard is a Prima stamp.  Ribbon, lace, pearls, flowers, paper doily and a beautiful pearl and diamante flower embellishment to finish.
