Totally Tilda Banner challenge

Hi, I haven't had much chance to upload anything this week as I've been busy finishing a huge wall art I'm creating for my home. I will share it once it's completely finished.

I did manage to make 2 cards this week and one is for Totally Tilda, they have a challenge where you need to make a card using a banner or pennant so here's my take, feel free to join in at http://totallytilda.blogspot.com.au/:

I haven't done a folded card like this before but thought this little Tilda would look cute looking over the top of the banner. Sorry the photo is a little wishy-washy, the colours are actually very bright in this card.

FWAB used: Adhesive pearls in olive green and red

Thanks for taking a look,

Their challenge is here http://atsblog.typepad.com/wednesdayschallenge/2012/06/anything-goes.html if you'd like to join in. It still has a few days to go and as the challenge title says "Anything goes".
So here's a card I've made using one of their digi stamps (Cupcake Birgitta) to buy her here's the link - http://www.allthatscraps.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=cupcake+birgitta she comes in digi and rubber format.
