Today see's a new challenge over on The Ribbon Girl blog so for the next 2 weeks the challenge theme is.............................ANYTHING GOES - USE ANY IMAGE

There are 3 wonderful prizes up for grabs where you can find out more at the end of this post.

Believe me you won't be disappointed!

I made a card for my Mother-In-Law who celebrated her 70th Birthday last weekend.

I used Dancing Tilda In Italy from The Little Italy 2015 Collection.

The image is stamped with Memento rich cocoa ink onto Bristol board extra smooth cardstock and cut out using a CartUs oval.

I have coloured the image with Prismacolor & Polychromos pencils and matted the finished image onto a Joy Crafts Noor! oval.

For the shape of my card I used GoKreate large frame frilly #5 and Maja Design Vintage Spring Basics from The Ribbon Girl

Other dies used are; Cheery Lynn English tea party doily and French pastry doily. Marianne Design stitched circle, Magnolia Doohickey bloomy tag and Memory Box classic numbers.

I inked the edges of the die cuts with Tim Holtz Vintage photo distress ink.
