Tilda at Last

I have been saying for a while that I must get my Tilda stamps out to use and I finally made the time to ink up 'Tilda with Hat.' I had several bits and bobs still out on my desk from previous cards so these gave me the choice of how to colour her in. I have used my promarkers and a silver gel pen  to colour her with. Still lots of downpours this past week  but we did see our very first butterfly of the year flutter past the dinning room patio doors. A very big yellow one. Garden is beginning to look quite spring like despite the rain.


 The clocks go forward in the UK this weekend and The Doc did try to confuse me by deciding to change the time on the oven at 7pm this evening  just after I had put the tea in to cook. I came back though the kitchen five minutes later and was about to take the food out because I thought it had been cooking for well over an hour. His explanation when I quizzed him was that he thought it would save him time in the morning with one less clock to do!!  Nothing like the early bird catches the worm..

Like your, our garden say's Spring, it's just the weather's not got the message as yet. Youngest Granddaughter told me they forecast 20deg at Easter, I wonder. Pretty card.

How cute Tilda Mrs A., and your design looks so sweet and Spring-like! Love the floral DP behind the stamp and the pink flowers.

We haven't had rain this Winter, so we would have it just now, but nothing (sigh). Spring is in full bloom here.
Hugs, have a lovely Sunday.

Such a sweet card using your cute Tilda stamp- it has a lovely spring time feel. It's good to see the garden looking like spring even though it's still wet and windy. Haven't seen any butterflies yet- just a huge drowsy bee on the patio, which I moved behind the fence to stop Marvin trying to eat it! That dog has no common sense!!

Tilda is all dressed up in her Easter finery and she looks so pretty. I remember having a new hat for Easter back in the day. Hubby is right on it, isn't he! I see why you were confused.

Cute and the flowers are the perfect finishing touch. The clock change always confuses me, luckily no-one changed them here last night.
