We love Tilda

This week's card making class is going to be based around the lovely selection of Tilda papers that are available. She designs with such lovely soft colours it is impossible to choose a favourite paper pad!
 The dainty scalloped circles in this design have been punched from parchment with the Woodware green-size scalloped circle punch, then I have embossed a dot in each scallop using a Pergamano multi-grid. The elegant dome shaped roses have been punched from Tilda paper with a Woodware orange-size circle and then gently embossed on the back with a character shaper to give them that lovely rounded effect that makes them look like buttons.
The floral design on this card has been cut from a Tilda paper that featured lots of seed packets. What I really like about the Tilda designs is that none of the floral designs overlap, so if you want to use the flowers cut out like I have, there's no wastage at all, every flower can be used as it is whole.
I have used parchment again as a backing for the flower cut-out this time which has been punched with the biggest Woodware scalloped oval punch, then I embossed a small daisy in each scallop. I used standard parchment and then stuck it onto a blue scalloped oval.
I think the beads in the middle of each daisy really help to finish the card off nicely, as does the addition of a piece of ribbon which is double-sided so you can have it either way up.
