My First Attempt at a Maggie Card!

My love affair with these darling stamps is growing by leaps and bounds!  Actually, my first Tilda that I colored was the Tilda holding the bee.  She's still sitting on my desk without a card, though.  But with St. Patrick's Day next week, I did make this cute Tilda with clover into my second card.  This time, I went in search of the easel card that slanted so that I would have room for the Irish Blessing stamp. 
I colored her with my Copics.  Man, I need alot more practice!  It's not nearly as easy as it looks when Suzanne is coloring! LOL  But, for my second attemp, I guess it wasn't too bad.  I used Magnolia Doohickey dies, MS butterfly punch, stamps from The Stamps of LIfe and "May God Hold You" from Our Daily Bread Designs, Cuddlebug embossing folder, and Spellbinders dies.  Wow, sounds like I brought out a little bit of everything!


Here's a close-up of Miss Tilda.



And here is the beautiful Irish blessing stamp.  I hope you like my  attempts at cardmaking!  It sure is fun.
Thanks for looking.

    Oh yeah, sounds like you're well on your way to becoming a Tilda addict..LOL..even though this is your first Tilda card. Believe me it doesn't take long to become one. Rosamond, this card is gorgeous. I just love the colour combo. Your colouring is beautiful. Wonderful layout and it's an easel card to boot--my favorite type of card, although I haven't done the twisted kind yet. Terrific job in putting this card together. Love it.
    Thanks for coming over and playing with us at the Magnolia-licious Challenge.
    Hugs,
