Lovely Rose Tilda - Inspirational Card For The Ribbon Girl

Hello, lovely blogger friend's.
I hope you are well?
I'm here to show you a 21st Birthday card that I have made using lots of gorgeous products from The Ribbon Girl online store.

I used Lovely Rose Tilda from Magnolia's 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 oval die.
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 ysed GoKreate large frame frilly #2 and Maja Design
Vintage Baby 6 x 6 paper stack.
Other dies used are; Cheery Lynn English tea party doily and French pastry doily.
Spellbinders heart lattice, memory Box classic numbers, Magnolia Doohickey bloomy tags and Doohickey peony petals.
I have inked the edges of the die cuts with Tim Holtz Vintage photo distress ink.
Here is a list of the gorgeous products that I have used on my card from

Here is a close up of the flower arrangements.
The large white roses were sent to me from my special friend.
I applied 3D gloss onto the edges of the roses and sprinkled Twinklets Diamond Dust over the top.of them.
The pretty frame was also a gift from my friend.
I painted the frame with white Gesso and adhered a piece of design paper to the back.
I cut out the letters to spell Chloe using Tim Holtz Idea-ology label letters and staggered them inside the frame, adhering pearl hearts and 3mm peaches & cream pearl flatbacks around the name.
I stamped the butterfly which is from Magnolia butterfly kit and coloured it with a peach Polychromos pencil. I applied 3D glossy accents along the centre of the butterfly and adhered 5mm white pearl flatbacks and 3mm peaches & cream pearl flatbacks onto the wings.



A close look at Lovely Rose Tilda.
I surrounded the image with shabby white embossing enamel and adhered a length of 3mm white pearl bead string around the outside.
Inside around the image I have adhered white pearl flatbacks taken from the sheet of peaches & cream selection and applied 3D glossy accents to the rose.
To make Tilda's socks sparkly I used clear adhesive and glamour dust.
I used Wink of Stella clear glitter pen onto the bow of the present and dotted Tilda's cheeks with a white gelly roll pen.


Inside te card is decorated with design paper and the smallest of a 
GoKreate large frame frilly #2 die cut.

I hope you like my card?
