Jolly Roger Tilda - Simon Says Stamp DT Card & DT Call

Hello lovely peeps,
I'm having one of those days where I don't quite know what to do with myself! I have so much whizzing around in my head that I don't even feel capable of thinking lol.
My baby girl is on a course today & I keep wondering how she is getting on & keeping my fingers crossed that Jodie passes the exam at the end of it as it will mean the world to her. It's about time something nice happened for her with all the heartache she's had to deal with. I feel like I'm on tender hooks waiting for the end of the day to find out if she thinks it went well or not, & then Jode will have to wait another two weeks to find out if she's passed. I keep telling her & myself she will, she's a clever girlie I just hope she is able to focus on her exam & not think of all the difficulties she is facing at the moment. This stressed out muma will stop waffling & get down to business lol.

Before we go on to today's challenge Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog currently has a

& this week our challenge is
 
My lovely teamies and I are featuring American Crafts products on our creations this week, if you have any we'd love to see them but as always it's not compulsory to use them to join our challenge. 
This little Tilda is one of many I had forgotten I had, & when looking for which American Crafts products I wanted to feature I saw the cute little chalkboard pennants & immediately thought they would look perfect with little Jolly Roger Tilda.
I've had another play with Polychromo pencils to colour up little Miss Tilda & this is my second attempt at colouring with them.
 I haven't listed all the copics I've used today as I totally forgot & I'm not entirely sure which colours I used now, sorry peeps.

  7. Hey there, Mandy! I hope Jodie does well in her exam and although as mothers it is our job to worry, try not to stress too much, I'm sure she will have done her best! My eldest has just finished his GCSEs and he was as cool as a cucumber...he may be a little more nervous when it comes to results day!
    Love your beautiful card, but then I love all your creations! Fab colouring of that sweet Tilda and lots of lovely embellishments! Hugs, Lisa x
