A Sweet Tilda & Chicken

Hi everyone! Just when you think nothing else can go wrong for you i end up with a gumboil due to an absess near my back teeth. Dentist lanced it and gave me some strong antibiotics which seems to have done the trick.

Anyhoo! I managed to make a couple of things and here is my first a card using Tilda feeding a chicken from the Animals collection.

I think this makes for a great Autumn card.

Image is coloured with my Promarkers.

Tools - Marianne Design Flowers, Leaves, Swirls and Square dies.

Cheery Lynn Design French pastry doily die and Spellbinders rectangle die.

Freebie embossing folder.

DP - Dovecraft.

Ribbon bows, pearls and pin are all from my stash.

Roses are from Sweet Lilac Flowers.
