The textured and glittered cardstock are DCWV.....the patterned one is from the citrus stack.
The sentiment stamp is from the Lilli Of The Valley "Calendars" set.

JUST MAGNOLIA...IT'S YOUR SPECIAL DAY!....SKETCH BY BEV...

Hi.....today i've made a card for the JUST MAGNOLIA CHALLENGE ....it's been such a long time since i entered this challenge...and so many neglected Magnolia stamps.
To be totally honest i've never been really 100% sure whether i trully like Tilda!..i love her on everyone else's cards just not mine...but i think my hubby's got alot to do with this...he doesn't like her full stop!and i think he's put me off alittle :0(...so why you ask do i still keep buying the stamps?,can't answer that one!...you tell me!...lol.

I've used Princess Tilda coloured using Promarkers and Prisma's blended using Sansador.I've done something on this image that i don't normally do...i've outlined her with a pale blue marker...not too sure if i like it! the jury's out on this one....i've added lots of sparkle to her tiara,gloves,dress and button on her shoe using glamour dust....i can never capture the glitz in the photo like some of you do....i wish i could take good photo's!

The paper is "Nanna's Wallpaper" from Funky Fairy's.

The sentiment is by Scrappy Cat from the "Birthday Wishes" set.

I've used a Martha Stewart Doily punch to form the lacey border.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Hobby Craft.

Ribbon and gems from stash.

Well i've enjoyed joining in this week and what a fabby sketch to work with too!.....by the very talented Bev....

Hope you all have a great day whatever your plans.
