Who stole my card????

Maybe this is the reason why it takes me so long to make a card.  Have you ever lost the card you are actually working on?  Well, I managed to do that.  I was just about to finish it up with the flat bottom of this easel card.  I had just figured out what sentiment I was going to use and was just going to get my NEW Bow Easy to finish up the card.  I think I'm learning a lesson here.  Ok, when you purchase items (confession, way to many this month), put them away in appropriate spots.  No, they don't belong in your bedroom, living room, dining room, but just your scrapbook room.  And don't pile up all your belongings thinking, oh, I'll remember where I put my New Bow Easy.  I'm getting older!!!!   This card definitely took much longer than it should have.  After 2 hours of searching, I found my the Bow Easy, but still couldn't find the card.  I finally did another search of my bedroom and underneath some of my belongings in my bedroom, MY CARD!!!  I'm worn out just from looking. 

Well, I colored Romantic Tilda so long ago, I'm going to have to try my best to remember Copic colors and other items I used..  Although, I did basically color Tilda like one of Mary Giemza's  (what a totally talented lady) Tilda.  I would also like to give credit to another very talented woman, Andrea Ewen for her inspiration to this card.  I also reached out to start using some of those piles of papers I just keep buying and not use.

My confession today is I will make more cards in a month so I can enjoy all of my purchases.

Off to take pictures, and looking forward to sharing.  I think Tilda looks like she got a little much sun.  I think she needed to use her umbrella instead of just "looking good" carrying it.  LOL  I'm having trouble really showing off the colors in this card.  Trying some auto settings...so what do you think????   The card definitely looks so much better in person.

This is beautiful Sheila! Another blog I must add to my google reader. :) Thanks for visiting my blog. The crinkled ribbon is handmade by me. Hmmm maybe I better do a tutorial huh? You can google it though, there are others out there. I get the seam binding from ebay. cheap. I spritz the ribbon with water and add reinker to it, in a glass. I shake the glass around and keep adding reinker or spritzing with water if it needs it. Put it all in a paper towel and get excess moisture out. Either let dry overnight or use a heat tool carefully so as not to burn it. :)
