ABC Challenge - U is for Unique

Time for another challenge at ABC Challenges. Today our theme is U is for Unique and this challenge is all about whatever you want to do - Anything Goes!!! 

The sponsor for this challenge is Stamp and Create  and I decided to feature the delightful Tilda with Angel the Horse from Magnolia Stamps. I learnt how to tie a chocolate box bow a few weeks ago, and decided to use one on my card today:

Here is a closer look at my little Tilda and the sentiment. When I was a teenager, some of my best friends were the ponies and donkeys I used to ride as often as I could, and every girl needs special friends. 

For my card, I stamped Magnolia's Moulin Rouge Tilda using Momento Rich Cocoa ink on  kryogen white card stock. She is coloured with my copics. The colours I used are skin: E0000, E11, E000, E00, R20 horse: E33, E35, E37, E39, mane: E31, E33, E53, jacket: E59, E57, W9, jodphurs: E50, E51, E53, hair: E47, E44, E43, E42, E40

Here is a close look at my little Tilda and Angel:
