HERE GOES!!!
I am attempting to enter some challenges tonight. I made one card in red, black and white for the Magnolia Bi-Monthly challenge. It also will fit the Just Magnolia Challenge of Anything Goes with Ribbon. I have lots and lots of older Tildas, and have decided to use them even though there are some really precious new ones I would like to get soon.
My card is pretty simple. I matted the black dotted paper with red and black. I added the row of Martha Stewarts dotted border along the opening of the card. The red panel was run through the Cuttlebug using the large rectangular die, and then I used the Swiss dots folder to give it texture. I matted it in black and stamped the Tilda on a white CS using Momento black ink, cut her out using the CB and my new Labels 16 Spellbinder die, and colored her with mostly Copics. I ran the ribbon on the black dotted paper layer and left long tails to tie later. The red panel is flat mounted and the Tilda is popped up on dimensional pop dots. I added the two red heart rhinestones, and some glossy accents on the hearts in her apron (which ran together a little! Boohoo!)
So best get this posted and logged in on the challenges mentioned. There are some nice prizes but it is a random drawing for the winner. Who knows! I might get lucky one of these days. Thanks for stopping by.

Martha,
Very nicely done!!!
Love the black dotted paper and your MS punch that is perfect for it.
Tilda is wonderful in her lovely die cut :o)
Your colouring is great and the added heart rhinestones and pretty red ribbon finish it off so well.

That's a darling card Martha. Very sweet take on of the coloring combo. Thank you so much for joining us at Magnolia-licious Challenge.
For the question you asked on the blog, the red 'x' is only if you need to delete the picture/entry. In this case, you don't need to because you linked the right one. Hope this helps clear your concern :o)
