MAGNOLIA GARDEN FAIRY TILDA

Hi Friends
It's snowing, cold and horrible here in Kent. Me no likey...not at all, because I can't go out in it. One breath of that air and I'll find it hard to get my breath, so I'm stuck inside 'till the weather warms up a bit. Don't want more awful steroids! But I suppose it's a good excuse to craft.
On a plus point, the sun came out yesterday and I managed to take a half decent photo of this
 card for once. 

In my world, Tilda is in the garden and it's
 all warm and sunny.


She's coloured with Copics, glittered with Glamour Dust and stitched. The rose papers are Maja. butterflies and leaves are MS punched, die cuts are Spellbinders and Doohickey's. Blossoms, rosebuds and roses are Wild Orchid Craft. Doily is from Jane Asher.

Question: For a couple of years now I've used Neenah card for colouring with my Copics, but it doesn't seem the same any more. IE less
 smooth, harder to blend and the inks are bleeding more. I know Bev has noticed it too. I would be interested to know if anyone else has or is it just us? Also could anyone recommend a good alternative?

I've popped this little card on eBay with a few others.

Going to enter it for
Magnolia Down Under - Flowers

Have a lovely day

Hugs 'n Smiles

  1. Hi Chris...

    Oooh another fabbie creation... and all that gorgeous pink.... love it!

    Not used Neenah card I'm afraid... but I can recommend a really fabulous card.. Splendorgel brilliant white... I buy it in 280 gsm weight from my local printers, who order it in for me. I can honestly say it's the best card I've ever used for colouring with copics and promarkers. I think 500 A4 sheets cost me around £30 to 35 but keep me going for ages.

    Big hugs
