I think this is quite retro looking with her 50s style dress.
I used to wear dresses like these when I was about 13 .,ooooooooh thats a long time ago,I can tell you.Was not allowed the high heels though,only 1 inch high ones.used to have a pony tail ,lol.

I liked the last Tilda card I made,so I made another similar one.
This one is an easel card for a change,will keep this for someone special as I like it
Tilds seems to be jumping out of this card
Should I outline her in black pen,do you think?
So she stands out more.
I would like to enter this card in the following challenge please.
