Hello Friends,

I made a new card and I want to show you!! Today I use a Lazy summer Tilda from Magnolia Stamps.

It has been a while since my last time playing with this stamp, so I thought I`d make a card for a RAK.

Here it is:

I really like the result.. I was in doubt about the sketch but I like it very much. Dont you???

I colored my Tilda with copic markers RV04, RV02, RV00, E37, E33, E31, E11, E00, R20.
