Magnolia Card & I'm Back!!!

Hello everyone - long time no craft! As I'm sure some of you have noticed I've been kinda MIA for a few months now! We've had a string of problems with Virgin & the internet, as well as yet another virus on my laptop so it's had to be formatted AGAIN!!! (I've now banned everyone else in the household from using it as I just can't understand why I seem to get a virus every few months or so?!!) Anyhow these technical issues along with a new baby & my partner's firm having troubles leading to time off & lost wages at the worse possible time, things have been a little stressful lately to say the least! But I've managed to order some new craft goodies, which I love & has given me the inspiration & determination to get back on board again. So here's my first make for several months...

 
...I LOVE this Tilda (although as an ex-dancer I am very bias!) She is Tilda with Ballet shoes from the Prince & Princess collection & coloured as usual with Distress Inks...

 
 
Skin: Tattered Rose, Old Paper
Hair: Old Paper, Walnut Satin
Dress: Spun Sugar
Bow: Bundled Sage & Tumbled Glass
Shading: Pumice Stone, Black Soot
 
Papers: Magnolia (Prince & Princess collection
Dies: Magnolia Doo Hickey - Heart swirl, Swirl & leaf die & Vintage tag
 
Thanks for joining me again!!!
I'm hoping to start posting regularly again from now on, seeyou soon!

I'm entering into the following challenges:
Cupcake - Fairytales
Totally Tilda - Bingo Board (middle row - distressing, punches, charm)
Sweet Stampin' - How Charming?
