Tilda with love

I can't believe that it is the middle of the week already.  Tonight I have a card made with a Magnolia stamp and it is for a challenge. First for the Just Magnolia challenge, which was to use paper pleating and then for the Friday Sketchers challenge #84.  The Tilda that I used is holding a lily (I think) and I was told that it came from the Easter collection. I have got to try and learn which is which. But, know this, I love the Magnolia stamps. And come Friday I will be finishing off my order over at Magnolia-licious. I have to make sure that all of the real life things are taken care of before I get to buy any new toys. But, my day is coming.

I colored my image with Copics and used my Cuttlebug to emboss some of the papers.  The second scalloped circle was cut from some hand made papers that I came across in my stash. I like this paper because you can feel the fibers going through it and it gives the project a little more texture. The flowers are a minature roses on top of petals from a bottle of "Iced Got Flowers", these came from Michaels.



I love to read your comments and they are greatly appreciated.

  1. Joyce you did a beautiful job on this card. The colors are rich and vibrant while being muted too - I think because of the gorgeous hand made paper. Your coloring is wonderful, glad you gave the pleated paper a try...hugs...Barb
