Tilda all in Pink

This is a commissioned card done for one of my yoga buddies. She asked me to make a card for her five year old grand daughter using pinks. So I used papers from Stampin Up and the Mermaid Tilda from last years Summer collection. I have to say, this is one set that I use over and over again. I still have to make another Mermaid card for my sons girlfriends niece. So hope you don't get tired of this image since you will proably see it again. I promise I'll do something different. This time, I used an older sketch from Friday Sketchers. Told you I love those sketches and use them over and over again. I also took out my Cricut and used the Animal Kingdom cartridge cutting the fish bowl at 4" and followed this theme both inside and out.

For the inside of the card. I used a leftover sticker from Jolee's



I used a shell from the Recollections Collection, I knew I wanted to use this as a focal point for my flowers


This fits the following challenge:

Easter's on It's Way - Friday Sketchers #147

I so look forward to Fridays, not only because it is the end of the work week, but I love the sketches from the Friday Sketchers team. I find I use them over and over again. So here is my take on this weeks challenge:



Now ladies, I decided to try something new which I can not take credit for. I decided to incorporate the idea of creating a clay figure to match my card for family and friends. I got this idea from the very talented Gloria Dawson who inspired me the second I saw her GORGEOUS creations. Her work can be found here
Now after you see her work, remember, she's a pro at this and this is on of my firsts attempt so of course I see tons of flaws in the picture, so just give me about a hundred years and I'll catch up.

This is my second fimo creation, which is a little better than my first, My first was done for a DT challenge and will be posted in a few weeks
