Finally made a card

Wow, it has been a long time since I finished a card! I swore to myself that I wouldn't spend my entire snow day studying, and I finally got away from the books late this evening.

The end result is a new contest entry and a couple of Valentine's Day cards for my friend's daughters.

The first card makes use of the Noble Tilda I colored a couple weeks ago. She was colored with Prismacolor pencils, but I used Sakura gelly roll pens on some of the accents. She's sitting on the Love Envelope.

I can't find the name for the Tilda on the second card, so I would appreciate any help you can give on that front. She, too, is colored with Prismacolor pencils, and I used Stickles on her wings. She also sits on the Love Envelope.


I don't remember where I found the glitter papers -- all three were buried in my paper stash. The silver and purple foil papers came from American Crafts. The hearts I cut out using the Cricut George cartridge. I bought the self-adhesive ribbons at the Scrapbuck table at the Great American Scrapbooking Convention last year (I cannot wait for this year's convention!).

I'm entering the top card in the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge blog contest and in the Stamp With Fun sketch challenge (see below). If I find any other contests, I'll let you know!
