Chinese Tilda for a special occasion

Happy Thursday to you all,
I have been quite busy lately, and away from my crafting table... I had hoped being able to post on the 22, cause it was my blog's first anniversary. But I couldn't...I still wanted to celebrate, better late than never, this unique occasion. Time went by, so fast! I learned so much! I can now link my pictures to my blog or enter a challenge a lot faster and without making everything disappear! (LOL) I have learned so many techniques, my creativity  bloomed as I was able to meet and be inspired by so many talented artists. Nothing like such would have happened if I had not had the courage to overcome my fear for technology. It is Chinese Tilda that I have taken along for this adventure in creation; she is very special to me. I am fascinated by I was inspired by Jeanette's  wonderful sketch for FRiday Sketchers. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for all your visits, your wonderful comments, your words of encouragements. I hope my work inspires you to devote a moment on your day, especially for creating.

Bon jeudi à vous toutes,
Il semble que le temps passe à une vitesse grand V ! Je n'ai pas eu beaucoup de temps à consacrer à mes activités créatrices cette semaine, compte tenu de mon autre vie qui a exigé beaucoup de mon temps! Samedi  dernier marquait un an de blog pour moi! En effet,  le 22 janvier je publiais pour la première fois. J'aurais souhaité célébrer plus officiellement, mais le manque de temps m'en a empêché. Entretenir ce blogue a pris une grande place dans ma vie. Je suis reconnaissante à ce monde virtuel de m'avoir apporté ce que le monde matériel n'a pas pu. Je suis vraiment heureuse d'avoir eu le courage de braver mon ignorance devant cette technologie. Grâce à ma persévérance, je vous ai recontrées! J'ai pu partager, apprendre; ma créativité s'est épanouie. J,ai découvert un monde... Vaut mieux tard, que jamais dit le proverbe. Il me fallait donc souligner cet événement quand même. J,ai choisi Chinese Tilda et je me suis inspirée du magnifique sketch de Jeanette pour Friday Sketchers. Je voudrais aussi vous remercier du fond de mon coeur pour les gentils messages, les encouragements. J'espère que mon travail vous inspire, vous invite à réserver un moment de créativité dans votre journée!











I have used the following stamps: Magnolia Chinese Tilda (presently on reorder at Diana); Cherry blossom from Stampalicious, on the inside of my card, stamped with Stampin Up Rich Razzelberry & embossed with clear powder. Tilda was colored with copics.
DP : Basic Grey, Kioshi collection
Cardstock & Ribbon: Stampin Up
other furnitures: spellbinders, Magnolia lace border & doily; corners from cuttlebug
Those wonderful flowers are a gift from dear Jacque.
The little stickpins from my stash.

Hi, Danielle! Yet another perfect card! Green and purple are a fabulous color combo and you found a perfect balance. I love the harmony between papers, image and embellishments. They all seem to have been there forever. LOvely idea with the branch stamp on th edress and in the inside. I might use that too:)
And, last but not least, your coloring is fantastic:)

Just adorable, Danielle. Is she really called Chinese Tilda? I have her too, but I haven’t played with her yet. Yes, she looks more Japanese to me too. Love the colour combo—gorgeous DP--and the layout is terrific. Your colouring work is fabulous. Wonderful corner die cuts—yeaaa,, I have it too.

And a Happy 1st Blog Anniversary. Aren’t you glad you took the plunge? Me too!! Your blog have been a joy to visit and a source of inspirations to me and I’m sure to many others. Keep on doing it whatever you’ve been doing! I look forward to another year of your fabulous creations. You go girl!

Hugs,
Norma
