Last Friday was the Twisted Sister Challenge and yes, you guessed it - I am late! Our lovely Twisted Sister Phyllis (aka Tater) has challenged us to make a card and have rain on it somewhere - not so easy Tater!!
I remembered I had this image from my friend Melinda (aka Melinda 80) who is affectionately known as the 'Queen of Magnolia's' by those who know her!! Thanks Mel for these images, it has been ages since I coloured one but I have had so much fun doing it!
Now, I have to say that Tater is known for her dislike of PINK - so just for you my friend I have not used pink at all, a touch of red, but no pink - I am hoping this helps me with the being late factor!!
Tilda is coloured with SU Chalks and a Blender Pen, cut out and popped up on foam dots on some DP which has been distressed and layered onto navy CS. The main DP is part of a RAK from another Twister Sister - Darla Ryan has been distressed and attached to white CS. I have added some gorgeous green ribbon (also from Melinda) and some double stitched ribbon.
I have added dimension with the image and also the paperpiercing of the light argyle, which happened as I needed something to balance the image! The cloud is also a Magnolia image and has had Kindy Glitz added as has the raindrops. The sentiment is also popped up on a foam dot with light chalking.
So girls - I am sorry I am late - is this when I QUIETLY mention that I am behind with the last two weeks challenges - oops - hopefully I will catch up!!
Thank for visiting with me today, I hope you are enjoying time with friends and family while remembering what Easter is all about. Thank you for your lovely comments - you know I love to see that you have been!! You can find me and more on my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogapot.com
God bless you!

Wonderful image and your coloring is so great (I wish I had some better words to describe it because it really is something special).

She's gorgeous, Linda!!!! You aren't the latest with the challenge, LOL! I'm home alone with a 4 yo, and with Easter on top of it, no stamping time at all. Happily, he got a new movie so I'm trying to catch up with the TS gallery while he's watching it... TFS...

Another knock out card!!! It is awesome how you have such vibrant coloring! The image is perfect and reflects just how I feel about rainy days. I love them and always have. I look at it as a cleansing of the world or at least the part that I am in! Thanks for playing along Linda. Don't worry about being late, your hands have been full lately. Don't stress over it; do what you can and know that your sistahs are loving you and praying you up good. Being a Twisted Sister is all about sharing a love of God, card making and each other! Hope your Easter was blessed as mine was. Another celebration with Mom here so LIFE is good.
