I can't believe I have made another card the Stamping for the Weekend Challenge....I didn't think I would have enough purple but after digging into the DEEP recesses of Craft Central, I found some more purple, a soft mauve....so you never know what you have unless you look!!
The truth is that when I was looking to do a second card I got two images out and couldn't decide which one to do...so did one and then finished this one off this morning. Hence a third card...
It is also for the CCEEC where one of my Twisted Sisters Dawn (aka flowergal36) is the Stamper with the catchy name that they are honouring this month - so flowers are required on a card...we all know Dawn loves flowers AND Magnolias are another specialty of hers - this gorgeous image is thanks to my friend Melinda80 - thanks Mel!!!
The third Challenge is the 2RedBananas where we are to use three different DP's...and I have...the mauve lightly spotted DP, the patterned yellow strip and the darler purple which is both textured and patterened....
The last challenge is for the Creative Card Crew where a Child's card is the go - so I have bundled all of those challenges up into this one card!!
I have chalked the image and added Kindy Glitz to the wings and layered in onto purple DP. I have used yellow DP and and the SU Eyelet Border Punch, added some paper piercing, layering it on textured purple DP and added sheer ribbon which had been threaded through a flower and knotted! Other flowers were added along with a Die Cut Flourish and finally a sentiment with added bling!!
I have to laugh when I look at this photo - I decided to venture outside into the cold so I would get better ligthing - what happens - it starts to rain - then the wind comes up! So I found a sheltered spot and saw these lemons and I thought they would look good next to the card, being yellow and all....and they do...until you turn them over and they are all rotten and the worms and bugs have eaten the whole lot of the other side out - but they look good for the photo - isn't that what counts!!!

Linda~ Your chalking always amazes me! I can't believe the way you bring out those colours! Your shading is perfect- her little face comes alive, and I like the way you leave a lighter streak down the centers of the clothing. This layout is great too with your flowers on the corners, wonderful border punch and all that paper piercing! Wow, this is very pretty!

Ooh such an adorable card Linda, loving all your paper piercing - must have taken you ages and your layout is gorgeous too. Tilda is coloured to perfection and I love how you have taken your picture, I can sympathise with the wind as my cards are always blowing away.
