Magnolia with a difference

OK, now how many of you have seen what my friend Barbara has been doing to Tilda and Edwin of late?

Well I thought I would do something a little different - I have attempted this before but I was not happy enough with the result to share........I hope Pauline will forgive me ♥

I would like you to meet Tilda's cousin!

Anyone have an idea as to what I should call her?

For those interested in how I did it, well I started off by sketching the features lightly in pencil, once I was happy with them I inked in the lines with a Copic Multiliner.

(If you are colouring with Copics make sure you use a pen such as this - or the ink may bleed)

I then shaded the face as I would do for a normal Tilda, but with the added features I was able to give her more depth and most importantly expression.  But I then used my coloured pencils to enchance the features further.

And yeah, yeah, I know it is a Christmas card and it is only April!  But I got caught out last year, leaving it too late to make them all, so I am trying to get ahead of the game and ensure that this year I do not end up buying cards.

Oh and before I forget - does anyone else have this stamp "Holding Tilda"?  If so, what did you have her holding - is there another stamp out there that works for this? 

I'd like to enter her into the following challenges:

(can you believe I found some for a Chrissy card in April!!!)

Moving Along with the Times - Merry Christmas

Want to join us?

If so all you have to do is create a card using one of Dustin's Doodle Dragon images with an outdoor theme, post it on his blog and follow the instructions to get a freebie digi.

Here is mine

As you can see I decided to have a bit of fun with my particular image, colouring the small squares and well what do you call the black and white bit - monotonering?????

I then added a little Diamond Glaze to sort of make them look like windows and finished off with a couple of Poppy Stamps dies and some peel-offs.
