Tilda with Heart Ornament was used for this one, coloured with Copics except for the heart which was filled in with a Freixenet gold paint marker. Since the marker is opaque, I had to re-draw the heart's original design on the front with black Copic Multiliner.
The Martha Stewart Eyelet Lace punch was used for the background cardstock. The patterned paper is Kraft Kuts Striped Girl by Fancy Pants Designs and both are highlighted with self-adhesive gold pearls of various sizes.
I found a heart charm, but it was silver so I had to change it to gold with the marker too. I also used it on the pearl sprays that were formerly white.
The sentiment was run off on my computer, filled in with the gold marker, then cut out.
The Martha Stewart branch punch was used on gold paper and inserted behind the ribbon bow, along with the gold pearl sprays.
Inside the bottom flap (not pictured), are two rows of lacey layers in gold and burgundy.
Tilda is popped up on dimensional foam and reinforced behind her legs with a strip of flat plastic so she doesn't tear when the card is opened and closed.
Skin: E00, E11, R20
Hair: E21, E25, E49
Dress and socks: R00, R83, R85, N0
Sentiment inside: R85, E51, E55
I have re-purposed a card I made a few weeks back: "My Rain, Rain, Go Away" card has been transformed into an "Under the weather?" card with the simple addition of a ribbon-backed sentiment.
So far I have four of nine cards done. But I am now down to less than two weeks before this is due.... yikes!

Great cards. Love the hearts and the first one and the tights are too cute. Anything done with the umbrella Tilda I love. This one is too cute.
Both your cards are gorgeous and so very creative. I love how you transformed the hearts and pearls on the first card - wonderful! The second card is so fun with the cut out around Tilda. You'll make it to the finish line...
