I couldn't help myself I just had to make another card with these colours, again I haven't got the exact SU colours, but have gone as close as I can. I try and do these challenges from images that I have had stamped for a while and done nothing with, or have been sent as RAK's from my SCS sistas' (how spoilt I am!!)
This Magnolia was one that I have been given, The sentiment is from our very own Peggy in a RAK, the frame and the circle embellishments are from the sets that DH got for me at KMART for 50c at the end of season last year, the kraft coloured paper is from the inside of gift wrap rolls (I love this paper) and the string...well, DH picked it up while waiting for me at the hospital the other day and was fiddling with it...until I saw it that is...my mind was already ticking....I have added flourished vellum over the kraft(ish) paper, but the flourishes are in the same tones - so I am hoping this is okay!!! Tilda's boots are black and after seeing this photo I have decided to gloss them up a bit with Dimensional Magic...will update the photo when it dries...
Hope you like it...as I said, I am loving the colours...thanks Emily for the Challenge!!!!

This is so totally fabulous, Linda! Love your Tilda and she's colored to absolute perfection, I might add. Love how you finished the corners with torn edges, added brads, twine and the 25 - all the right things that make a card a card, and a great one at that!

Hey this is so cool Linda. I was wondering if you uploaded your card in "Lexicon of love" category, because of the lexicon of course...
I love all your colors, you have been well inspired darling friend, making all these beautiful cards. I just love the twine for the frame, magical mon amie!
