Tilly with Presents!

Good morning all and hope that your week has started well? And it's the last day of April - and I can't think where the first four months of this year have gone. Time seems to have flown past. I'm just hoping that May brings more Spring-like weather, although we've got sunshine this morning!  Just a quick card to share with you today - I'm off to work (which seems such a shame on a sunny morning!).

This one is using a Wild Rose Studio stamp, Tilly with Presents (so no, not my Tilly the Dog - the sort of presents she brings consists of such things as sticks, muddy feet, unmentionable smells.....etc.!)

The backing papers are from K&Co with an embossed panel of coredinations card using Cuttlebug 'birthday' folder.  

I've used promarkers and flexmarkers for colouring. I used a different type of card for stamping and colouring but wasn't too happy with it, I couldn't seem to get good blending or shading (I know, a poor workman blames his tools!).

I've added sentiment and stitching stamps from LOTV. The buttons and twine are from stash. It was just a quick simple layout, but I think it looks ok. I do try to restrain myself occasionally from adding lots of embellishments lol! 

I'll be back tomorrow with some gorgeous new releases from Whimsy Digital stamps and a blog hop!
