Birthday Fun For Tilda

Hello my friends! I was at the hospital yesterday as i had to attend the A&E Review Clinic and the findings were that i have definitely tore the ligaments in my knee. It can take just as long to heal as a break or fracture. I'm taking plenty of painkillers and i will be receiving physiotherapy.
Would you all like to have a good laugh at my photos?

As you can see i'm still managing to smile!!

I stamped 3 mini Tildas and coloured with Distress Markers and added some glitter.
At the top i used a Magnolia 'So Lovely Swirl' tag die cut and then i finished it all off with lots of pearls, some gems, a bow and some twine. Hope you like it!!
