A Special Magnolia With Stitches - Paper Play DT Card

Good morning peeps,
I've had a traumatic incident! I was attempting some colouring sat on the sofa when Diddy (cat) leaped right at me, so thinking he was just in one of his mad playful moods I told him off and told him to stop it, but he did it again, & again & again, he would not leave me alone. I must have been trying to fend him off for about half an hour before I spotted what the problem was, I only had a flipping locus on my top. OMG panic stations, I didn't know what to do so froze making a stupid whimpering noise before the brain finally kicked in & I swiped it off of me onto the rug & Diddly pounced & thankfully held the horrid creepy crawly under his paw until I got there with the tweezers. It must have jumped out onto me when I fed hubby's bearded dragons & I hadn't noticed, thank goodness for Diddly, if it had have crawled up into my wild curly hair I'd have been in real trouble trying to get it out lol.

Today is new challenge day at
& this week our challenge is

For this challenge I inked up one of my beautiful Special Tilda's, although they are all special to me :)
Ingredients -
Image - Magnolia, Special Edition Wonderful Winter Tilda, she's only available HERE
Medium - Copics
Paper - Raspberry Road
Lace, Pom Pom trim & Seam Binding - The Ribbon Girl
Flowers - Wild Orchid
Glitter - Glamour Dust & Martha Stewart

I have painted on lots of lovely snowtex which is a new to me, usually I use crackle paint for going shabby but I love the added texture snowtex gives so will definitely use this again.
The Copic colours I've used are - SKIN - E000, E00, E13, R20, R30, HAIR - E27, E31, E50, TOP C00, C0, C1, C3, HAT ETC - R81, R83, R85
I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
TOMIC -monochromatic pink with a bow
Deep Ocean - Lots of white
Sketch & Stash - fabby sketch
Truly Scrumptious - shabby, pastels with paint
Magnolia Down Under - anything goes
That's me done for today peeps, I am off to catch up with as many of you as possible while I'm wide awake :)
Thanks for stopping by

  18. oh how thoughtful of them, and so very considerate to ensure that they are saving the electric. You would think that by now I would have your address and that way I could send you little treats to make you feel better :) hint......
    and I don't think I could ever reach your standard of gorgeousness (not sure if that is a word but it will do anyway) I mean just look at this stunning, pretty, delicate and perfect creation, I need to read a dictionary to find some more complimentary words lol
