Windblown Tilda

April can be a very unpredictable month around here. I'm speaking weather-wise! We have had some days in the 70's and 80's, but this weekend it had been cold and rainy. Kind of reminded me of this Tilda image, so I thought I would share this card.

Done in a simple style, I colored Tilda with Prismacolor pencils, added a couple of rectangles of designer papers (don't know where they are from offhand!), and a little oval tag with a Hero Arts sentiment.

It will warm up again...as Mark Twain always said:
"If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes."

Sweet card. And so like the weather we had this weekend. Oklahoma has changeable weather also. One day it was in the 70's and then dropped to the 20's later in the day. brrr

Pam, beautiful card. I have this Tilda image too but never got around to colour her up. Oooh, I love how you colour with your prismas. Beautiful job with those coloured pencils. I’d like to try one day. The soft colours gave this card a calming mood to me somehow, even with those blustery wind blowing. Terrific job on the card. Love it.

Hugs.
