I must admit this was a difficult challenge for me. I am not fond of beige, orange, or yellow. If you remember the 'Color Me Beautiful' by Carole Jackson 1980's trend of assigning seasonal tones to each person according to her skin and hair coloration, you know that I am a 'winter'. ( color analysis) My colors are bright and jewel-toned. There are no browns, oranges, yellows (except icy yellow) in my color palette. I think that is why this challenge was so 'challenging' for me.
Here is my challenge card:
Couch stamp Magnolia-licious
Tilda in Heart Jumper
"Just Sittin' Here Thinking of You" sentiment (inside)
Copic markers
Memento tuxedo black ink
Jo-Ann card base
Martha Steward border punch
Sizzix corner die
Nestabilities scalloped oval
Walton doily
Bo Bunny designer paper
Papertrey Ink white cardstock
Bazzill cardstock
Sewing machine and thread

Oh Linda!!
I have that book and took the class in Vancouver, BC all those years ago LOL.
I am a 'spring' gal myself and had a tough time with both challenges this month also. I am a pink girl for sure with all the other pastels thrown in for good measure.
What I love about your card is it's comfort factor. I could live in that room with Tilda no problem - even in these colours. Your wonderful window treatment, couch doily and cute cute pillow just draw me into it.
Tilda is beautifully coloured. Love your paper and special corner treatments.
Thanks for reminding me of a good time I had so many years ago.
Hugs, Candy
You do beautiful work Linda!!
Linda, the way you shadow the punched border really did made it look like a fancy raffle. Too cute. The cushion and doily for sofa lace trims are smart addition. Very creative way and intepretation of this photo :o)

Hi Linda. Haven't seen that book but I've been told I'm winter too..hee hee. It took me a long time to come up with something for this challenge too. Love your take of the challenge. This Tilda is one of the very first Tilda's I bought--I still love her. Wonderful idea using the lace border punch for the ruffles--must remember that.
Hugs,
Norma
Love your card!! The ruffles on the valance are amazing :-)
Hi Linda...another masterpiece, darlin'!! I love the whole scene you created...and I especially love the curtain valance...I swear, it looks REAL! Hugs.
