Happy Sunday everyone! It is a dreary rainy day here so a great kick back day for doing not much of anything!! Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to write me such sweet notes over the past week!!
To brighten my day I wanted to make a card using the sketch for The Next Level where Madge and Dawn bring so many tips and hints, instruct so ably, and challenge us to push ourselves outside of the box. If you haven't visited their blog site, I urge you to drop by and see what's happening over there. I'm sure you will find lots of things of great benefit, some freebies, and some fun, all at the same time!
I used Bazzill CS for the base and the remainder of the card is all from the new Basic Grey Lemonade paper pack...that even sounds yummy, doesn't it? Little Tilda With Flower is from the Spring/Summer Collection 2008 and is available at Magnolia-licious. As you can tell, I kept very closely to the sketch, adding ribbons in coordinating colors, a gold heart button for the embellishment, a sweet sentiment in the upper left to which I added a matching flower to the one Tilda is holding, circled the airbrushed paper doilies with flowers, and finally added 3 burgundy pearls to the upper right corner...
And a very simple inside:
Thank you so much for visiting and I hope you will let us know what you think of her. Take care and be safe...Hugs!!

That is a really cute card Jacque. We have not had rain in ever so long and today I was birthday shopping for my daughter and while I was in the store there was a major deluge! I was so wet when I got to my car I wished I had a towel!!! Hair wet, shirt wet clear through, pants wet clear to underwear. Of course the AC was on when I turned the car on(had had it on before going in) and I got a chill like you wouldn't believe~~ LOL I was quite a sight and still had places to go. I just fluffed up my hair and since my clothes were dark (having just come from Church) I just pretended everything was hunky dory and went on with my shopping -- sans AC. LOL We needed the rain though so I am happy about it.

Hi Jacque,
You have created another cute, cute card. I love how you airbrushed the doily and added the little white flowers around it!!
Hugs, Suzan
Jacque, stunning card. Wonderful colours and as always your colouring is awesome. Love all the embelishments--especially those 3 brads in descending sizes. Never thought of that--will use the idea on my own cards myself. Thanks.
the inside of your card is gorgeous also.
Hugs.

Jacque this is adorable. I have not checked this challenge out yet. Love the way you added the flowers around the outside. Beautiful ribbon treatment. Hope you are staying cool. I wish we had some rain here. It is so dry. Hugs.
Jacque, this is absolutely adorable - your cards just keep getting better and better, and each one is perfect, so where they will end up heaven knows. It is a joy to visit your blog, you give so much detail and inspiration. Thank you also so much for your wonderful support to The Next Level. Ann xxx
Another truly gorgeous card, Jacque! I love the colors and this BG DP is so yummy. I have this Tilda so hmmmmm, I think I'll kinda CASE your card so I don't have to think too hard LOL! The airbrushed doily is just so pretty and those little flowers around the doily are so dainty...never seen them here...adds a nice touch. Hugs, Cami

Wow what a great card! I like how you incorporated those ribbon colors near the bottom. Very nice!
Ohh so very pretty! Jacque, I just love how you did the doily and the circle of flowers. Tilda is just her darling self may I ask which colors you use for her hair? I never seem to find the right mix for golden blond like yours. hugs
So pretty!!
Love the circle of flowers around Tilda.
Good morning Jacque, i hope you are well, wow what another stunning card, i am loving the image and that gorgeous flower detail. You are such a clever lady and your work is always so inspiring. I hope things with Dad are okay, have been thinking of you all!!! big hugs Linda x
ANOTHER AMAZING CARD my friend!!!! I hope things have settled down for you!!!!! I miss your emails!!!!!
ooooh! aaaaaah! Gorgeous!! Love what you did with the ribbon! This is one of my all time favorite Tildas.
This is stunning! I love the pretty ribbons which match your backing paper. The stamped image is beautifully coloured and the circle of flowers is wonderful.
