I decided to go with an easel card to display this super sweet image of Gingerbread Tilda. I have never used her before and as I was going with the vintage/shabby chic style I stamped her on Ivory cardstock instead of white this time.
This gives a slightly different look when colored and I hope you like it.
These gorgeous Authentique Wonder papers dictated the whole card to me, I absolutely love the old time feel of them and of course they are in a 6" by 6" pad so you know I just had to have them!
Anyway I hope you make time for crafting today on World Card Making Day and be sure to hop over to the Michelle's Scrapbooking and More blog to catch up with all the fun!
