The Crafting Pad: All Blue Tilda for three challenges :)

Morning everyone hope you are all keeping warm and cosy,the best place is indoors at your craft desk but i went back to work yesterday as my leg is so much better,still aches a little now and again but it will take more than that to stop me lol.

Well i have managed another card and it fits 2 challenges which are

Just Magnolia Special Monthly Challenge

which is paper pleating i followed the tutorial by Mina on the just magnolia blog and i am quite pleased with the result thanks Mina:)

and

Just Christmas and Birthdays Sketch 53

which is a super sketch to follow by Georgia
I am last minute with this one sorry:)
and
Think Ink Challenge 11

which is to make a monochromatic card

I have used for this card

My Minds Eye (everyday tango) papers

Image is Tilda coloured in rangers distress inks dress broken china,roses

faded jeans,hair mustard seed,skin tattered rose and worn lipstick.

I used a punch to make flowers and added a gem to centre.

gems and ribbon from stash.

I have done the inside too with my nesties labels and stamped the sentiment with rangers distress ink (broken china) which i have used for all the distressing on the card.

Thats about it better post this quick or will never get it in on time last minute again lol.

Well i hope you like it and thanks for taking the time to look,

I love this card, that paper pleating looks fab - may have to try this myself. Beautiful colours - you should enter this into the challenge at Artful Inkables Think Ink Tuesday challenge which was a monochromatic card.
