Sorry I am a bit late to the Teaparty. I am finally home and able to view SCS on my desktop computer. Snietje has a lovely teaparty for us this week. We are sending Linda aka hotwheels some cards for her "donation stash".
This sweet little Tilda stamp was a RAK from a wonderful Splitcoastie friend. I stamped Tilda onto copy paper. Both are coloured with Prismacolour pencils, Zest it pencil blend then highlighted with Copics.
My initial intention was to make both cards the same, but Leftie's hair looked dodgy so I decided to give her a fringe, a little smile and sunnies. I think she looks cool and I think what Linda does is pretty cool too, so this one's for Linda.
Little Rightie went according to plan, except for boots! I quickly stamped her again on a scrap of copy paper, coloured the boots, fussy cut, then paper pieced in place.
To add a bit of interest I stenciled a brick wall for Leftie and dots for Rightie. It's hard to see in the photo but the dots have sparkly Stickles on them.
Thanks so much for looking. I hope you have had a happy inky week.
COMMUNITY SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Auto formatting has finally been fixed so our Best of 2018 event starts this weekend. Hope to see you there!!

Leftie and Rightie are gorgeous as are the teacups, Susie! Your coloring with pencils is wonderful and the backgrounds and framing are fantastic! I love Leftie's sunglasses! These are Susie masterpieces! Love them! Hugs, my friend!

Oh Susie, Leftie and Rightie are as adorable and charming as can be. I am so impressed with the incredible results you get with colored pencils. My use of colored pencils is worse than my 4-year-old niece's is. Ugh! I am left handed so I will go with Leftie, but both are fabulous and Linda will be thrilled with whichever one you gift her with. ~Karen.

You have mastered all styles of cards and these cards just prove it. I love the character you give your images using your own imagination. Love the fixes too- pasting the boots on the right one but leftie with those sunglasses has it all. Your coloring and shading is spot on!

Leftie here, she looks cute in her sunnies and with her fringe. But I really like the dotted cup on the right. What a sweet pair of cards for Linda, Susie. I can see the sparkle on the dotted background perfectly.

Leftie for me too although rightie is lovely too, I think I love both they are so cute and so pretty colored!! The difference is in the smiling face I think, if not I prefer the right cup and the left background, lol you should make a third one!! Linda will be very happy to get these beauties!!

I'm not a big Tilda fan either but I must say these cards may have won me over. I love the personality you gave each...they're the same girl, the same pose but totally their own person. I actually love the different versions of the cups as well...I would like a set of each.
