All you need is Love

This is a romantic Tilda to use on a Love themed card, and I've used green and orange.  The Love sentiment was a digi download as were the papers. I've used Promarkers for the main part of the image, but wanted a really pale colour on the parasol so I've chalked it with green shimmer chalks, and used a peach shimmer chalk to shadow the image and tag shape.  I've used some lace ribbon over the green panel and two shades of orange ribbon held on with a brad on the tag.  I don't usually like orange or green, but these pastel colours are lovely and overall I'm quite pleased with how she turned out.  Hope you think so too!

I've been inspired by the following:
Happy crafting
