Tilly with Presents

Hello everyone, it's Annette acting as your host today, and despite the lack of my beloved embellishments, I think that today's card is one of my favourites that I've created for The Stamp Basket.  Probably because it features my favourite two colours, pink and aqua.

I've used my lovely Wild Rose Studio Vintage Rose papers. There are usually one or two papers in a set that I don't like as much, but I love all the papers in this set. I've also used a cute image of Tilly with Presents.

It's a truly C&S design (for me) and I really like showing off the pretty pink and aqua papers without cluttering them up with a lot of embellishments.

Hope you like it too.

Card Recipe:

• Image - Tilly with Presents
• Cardworks Shaped Card base
• WRS Vintage Rose Papers 
• Neenah Classic Crest White Stamping Card
• Momento Stamp Pad Ink
• Spellbinders Nestabilities Floral Ovals
• Memory Box Fancy Blossoms Die
• Aqua satin ribbon
• Pink vintage ribbon
• Glossy Accents
• Snow White pearls

Happy crafting
Annette
