Tilda Thinking of You, SC601, #thedailymarker30day

The card above is for the SCS Sketch challenge for 13/07/16. It has lots of layers and is quite a lot larger than I would have liked but I wanted to use the castle window from Magnolia along with Tilda leaning on the window. I quite like the combination of these two images.
​I also wanted to submit it to Kathy Racoosin's 30 day color challenge and Magnolia stamps are wonderful to color.
I've used heaps of Copic markers;
Skin = E000, E00, E11, & cheeks R20 & R21
Hair = TR30, E13, E25, E29
​Bow & Sleeves = BG10, BG32, BG13
Yellow dress = YR30, Y23, YR21, YR24
Castle window = 0, C0, C-1, C-3, C-5, C-7, C-9 (for mortar) 
​I also used the gold Copic Spica pen for the lace ruffle on her sleeve and went over the hair bow with Wink of Stella - clear
I cut the Tilda image out close to the line with sharp curved nail scissors, these allow you to get very close to an image without cutting into it, then went around the edge of the image with the darkest corasponding marker, ie hair was E29, bow was BG13 and arms were E11.
​I put spots of highlight with my white uni-ball Signo pen as well as highlighting the eyes.

​The inside of the card.
This is the way I do most of my card insides and is quite easy and very effective.
​I choose some of the DP used on the front of the card, (in this case I have used both DP designs) cut strips and butt this up against some white card stock so that you have an area for writing a message.
I stabilize the strip joints with normal sellotape before applying double sided tape to the whole thing to mat it then attache to the card base.
​I sometimes sponge around the white card to add more interest.
