Tilda and Bloom

Here's another card made with that fence from the Bloom lite cartridge. This time, I used it as a perch for Tilda, who was coloured with copics then cut out. The fence was cut at 3" and shadowed in taupe. Papers are by My Minds Eye.

I cheated and gave her a nose! some of the Tilda images are just too much for me with no nose or mouth. I heard that the concept is that they are all angels, and angels speak with their hearts not their mouths. Seems a bit far fetched to me, but there you go, mine has at least got a nose.
I am so busy here, trying to pack a quart into a pint pot............one suitcase has already made the journey up to the supermarket to be weighed, luckily it came in at a few pounds under - I soon fixed that by stuffing more craft stuff down the sides of the case
I was doing a last minute shop, one place I was in was quite quiet, and I had a little chat to the checkout person. She was asking about my accent/where I lived/how long I was here for..........the usual questions. I said I would be back in the UK on the 1st July. 'oh good' she said brightly 'you'll be back for the 4th then'. Well, yes, but we won't be celebrating a whole lot over there!

  9. Love this little Tilda, En! Thanks for the inspiration on the Bloom cart. I have it but not opened it yet. Now that I've seen how cut it can be, I'll open and start to play.

    I don't envy you the packing and sorting but I know you'll be glad to get back home and see the family. We will miss your coffee shop visits and the local lunatics that manage to find you. Your posts always bring a smile. hugs, eileen

  11. Such a cute card! I love the concept about the noses and mouths, however, I think Tilda's nose is just the cutest little nose and makes her look just too sweet!

  12. Lovely card, and I agree with the face business. I think I'm going to get some face stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps to give Tilde the missing face parts. Is that against a rule somewhere?
    Shopping for more stuff???? Oh I guess you are taking some goodies back to friends in the UK. I'll bet you've learned how to pack a bag perfectly! I would never have thought to take a bag to the grocery store to have it weighed! Very good idea!
    Travel with care. Hugs, Jess

  13. Many people here never leave the USA. That was so funny. I guess we haven't done a very good job teaching US History. Too funny.
    Love the card. My husband says the same thing about the Tilda images. I think that is us cute you adding the nose. I am trying to decide what Cricut Lite I want to get next. I think I would use bloom. I love the fence.

  19. Really cute card! I agree with you on the Tilda's though. Wasn't there a Twilight Zone or something where everyone was without a mouth. So funny about the clerk in the store. I hope you have some folks like that back in the U.K. so that you can keep us entertained! Good luck with the packing. Pam

  26. your card is awesome and she looks much better with a nose. I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for all the stupid comments you have recieved while visiting the states.

  27. I love Tilda and adding the nose is too cute. I do like the thought that they don't speak with their mouths, only their hearts. Imagine some of the words that might not have been spoken. I love that fence too and am thinking I need that cart just for the fence. Oh no!
