Happy Weekend to you all!! We are going to a graduation party in 2 hours and I just finished the card! Kaitlyn is my son's girlfriend of 3 years and she is moving with him to Florida. She is a straight A student and will attend college for Veterinary Technician and then maybe go on from there.
Guess what her favorite color is??? PINK
I made her a Easel card with prima pearl swirls holding it up while it is open.
The banner reads CONGRATS on a Magnolia Doohickey banner die. I edged the banners with white paint and then used Tiny Text by Cosmo Cricket letters and lavender pearls.
A Magnolia Doohickey tag die is under the banner with her name on it and Fabulous.
I made my own flowers from seam binding. They are dyed Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserve Distressed Inks and then I crumpled them into a flower to let it dry. Carefully picking them up and placing them onto a taped circle to adhere them. Only one unraveled so it is part of the tag.
Tilda is colored in DI picked raspberry and seedless preserve, skin is vintage photo and tea dye. Her hair is vintage photo and a copic multiliner pen.
Liquid pearls in white surround her while I used lilac on the green frame around her.
Closeup of the bottom of the easel and the handmade ribbon flowers.
The green and white feathers are fun and whimsical for her.

Miss Tilda wobbles!! She is dancing and celebrating her graduation in style. Here is a closeup of the wobble mechanism.
I hope you are having a very nice weekend, my heart goes out to everyone in the stormy weather. I wish it wasn't so violent. I have a long prayer list going!
I would like to enter the following challenges
Thank you for leaving comments, I really appreciate them and I will be catching up with all you shortly as long as the internet is working, wow did I miss my internet!!
