Loving U Always

I just finished a card entitled "Loving you always". As usual I coloured Tilda with Copics & this time round I wanted to create a background behind her. So here's how I did it......

Close-up of Tilda (Tilda with Big ice-cream-With Love 2013 collection)

Instead of colouring her dress & shoes, I decided that it would be cute that her clothes & shoes would actually look like they are made out of fabric. So I did the piecing technique & then coloured them with Copics (W3 & W5) to create depth.

Background
After colouring Tilda, these are the steps to creating the background.
1). 1st, I masked Tilda & stamped the "Old Valentine Letter" background stamp from Valentine Collection 2009 with Versafine-Vintage Sepia
2).  Then I mist the background with Tattered angels - Starfish & crushed shells
