Hello everyone. I have been trying to get this card finished for a few days now and you know how it is, something always comes up (like midnight!! LOL!) that keeps me from finishing it - but today I just let everything else slide and completed it! It has been ages since I have made a Magnolia card, I am just slipping it into a couple of challenges, that are linked on my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com/
The MojoMonday sketch was perfect to use with Tilda, I love all of the layers involved. The Magnolia Down Under Challenge are asking us to use our stamps differently - this Tilda had a Merry Christmas banner, so I used heart brads over the banner and now it would be great as a Valentine card or to send someone and let them know they are loved.
Tilda has been coloured with Chalks using a blender pen and popped up onto the DP with foam dots. All edges on the card have been sponged (of course! LOL) The beautiful lace is part of a RAK I was sent from my friend Maxine (aka Kiwime) and fits perfetly with this themed card. I finished off with black gems.
So there you have it - I an thinking that this would be one of my favourite colour combinations, it always seems to work so well, no matter what the card!
Thanks for coming by and for your encouraging comments - you know I love to see that you have called in! It is Saturday afternoon here and HOT - we are all 'chilling out' inside with the air conditioner on...much nicer! LOL! I hope you are having a great day and manage to 'chill out' too! God bless you!

You just want to hug her -- she's so adorable. Love how you colored her, very artistic. And every layer is great. I love script backgrounds too! Great, great, great.

Beautiful little Valentine Tilda, I do love the string of hearts, what a fun and clever addition there. Fine take on the mojo and oh so many others. Wink! TFS my friend.
