Made With love Tilda - Inspirational Round Mini Dresser For The Ribbon Girl

Hello, lovely blogger friend's.
I hope you are well?
Today I am sharing with you a round mini dresser that I have made using a tape roll.
I got the fab tutorial from Tamara and decorated the mini dresser with lots of gorgeous embellishments from The Ribbon Girl online store.

I used Made With Love Tilda From the new Magnolia Recipe Card 2017 Collection.
The image is stamped with Memento rich cocoa ink onto Bristol board extra smooth cardstock and cut out using a CartUs circle die.
I have coloured the image with Prismacolor & Polychromos pencils and matted the finished image onto a piece of white cheesecloth and a Marianne Design stitched circle.


Here is a list of the embellishments I used.

A different view of the round mini dresser.


The drawer closed.
I used an Ivory Vintage style pin to open the drawer and adhered 15mm round cotton balls to the bottom as a stand.


The drawer opened.
The butterfly is cut from a sheet of Maja Design Vintage Spring Basics paper.


This is how the top of the box looks.
Isn't Tilda just adorable?
I stitched around the outside of the stitched circle dies with purple embroidery thread.
I surrounded the image with shabby white embossing enamel and adhered a length of 3mm white pearl bead string around the outside.
Around the inside of the image I have adhered 3mm white s/a pearl flatbacks and used Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the cakes icing, heart and bow in Tilda's hair.
I dotted Tilda's cheeks with a white gelly roll pen.

I hope that you like my round mini dresser as much as I liked making it.

I am entering my creation into the following super challenge's;
