How's life?...Didn't get round to posting a card yesterday..had lots to do like,,washing,baking,,talking to my friend on the phone...ironing.talking to another friend on the phone...take jack the dog for a walk...have a coffe with a friend who dropped in..so as you can see a busy day...Now don't laugh at this card...oh go on then..
Now as you can see I don't usually do this style of card,but I though I'd give it a go..have you stopped laughing yet... I coloured tilda with distress inks..then I went into my scraps box as I knew I had a piece of the striped paper in there..i used my nail file to do the edge of the paper...think I might have gone a bit to mad...then I tore the edge of a piece of the lilac card and the edge of the lovely grey glitter embossed paper layered them up one on top of each other...
I cut Tilda out with my nesties and then cut one scalloped in lilac and the other in cream and layered them up...I did some faux stitching around the largest one...
the ribbon and flowers are from my stash and the sentiment I did on the computer..
Anyway that's my attempt..I will have another laugh for you later as I have a man's card for you to see..it's the first one that I have felt is near good enough for you to see..just need to take some pics but I need to do a couple of jobs first so I will be back a bit later...take care..

I think it's really good, Mandy!! I am definitely not laughing at it. It was a new thing for me to try too and I was expecting to hate the way my card turned out, but I like it.
I tried to do the same kind of thing with my paper as you've done with your nail file but it looked terrible!
This is super sweet Mandy - no laughing here!! I love the colours and papers you've used and you've done a great job with the distressing! Tilda is very lovely too!
Hugs, Danielle
