Pocket full of Posies Challange - Winged Things

Hi..well I thought I would find a Tilda for this weeks Pocket Full of Posies challenge as she has been a little neglected lately..and made an easel card to boot!!

The Dp's I used are Primas Fairy Flora which i thought went well with darling Tilda..she's coloured with copics and promarkers..I used a MS border punch and covered it with organza ribbon..
Here she is a bit closer...

I also used a Nellie die for the circle..I wasn't sure about these dies but they growing on me...the flowers are from WO and I went a bit OTT with the pearls and sparkles...lol...if you look at the first pic again you will see that I made an envelope box too...decorated in the same papers..I bought a MS scoreboard thingy the other week and have been playing with it...I'm quite pleased with the box..its just a case of getting the card weight right..but I think I've cracked it..thanks to trusty old..but expensive HobbyCraft!!!...lol
Thanks for popping over and having a look...but do go and check out the DT creations..really lovely...
bye for now..

the next card is for PaperTake Weekly Challenge and this week if a fab sketch by Dawny..so here is my take on it..
