Yes, I know Tilda is really a cute little Swedish sweetie, but today, she's all American and proud of it! I colored this patriotic doll with my Copics, sparkled the stars on her dress with an atyouSpica in clear and cut her out using a Spellbinder's Nestie. I also stamped the saying by Northwoods in Memento Tuxedo Black, bordered it with an old firecracker stamp that I believe is from SU, colored with my Copics and pop-dotted it on. I then added a little yellow and stardust Stickles to the fuse of the firecrackers for a little sparkle. Now, let me back up a little, the really fun part of this card is the background. There's an airbrushing challenge this week on iCopic (WC #36) so I was feeling inspired. I punched out some stars, placed them around in a random pattern and airbrushed with B69. When I felt like I had enough color, I airbrushed some R29 on for the stripes. I used three of the stars I had previously used for stencils as decoration along the bottom. I did edge both Nestie peices with my R29 Copic Sketch for just a hint of color. The base of the card is Bazzill and the rest of the paper is Neenah Classic Crest. I kept the card relatively simple since there was so much going on with patterns. I do hope you enjoy my card, I certainly had a good time making it.
