A Magnolia card...

Happy Monday! Cheerful hey? I know, a gal can pretend you know. But it feels really good to be home alone today. Head ace  and so tired that I hardly know my own name. I've tried to stay awake for as long as I could now. Just thought that I would blog this card of mine first. Then a little nap.

Last night I inked up this dancing Tilda that has been living in my big box of unused Magnolias. It was time one of them saw the daylight so here she is. For some reason, don't ask me why have I coloured with my flexmarkers. I guess it's good that they get to work as well. And it was so fun using a brush again. Really should get out of that Marker's comfort zone a bit more often.


Miss Tilda is paired up with some papers from Bearly Mine Design. They are from the Just Plain set and from the Lacey Vintage Dream. A piece of scrap is also used. Flowers are a mix from I am Roses, Wild Orchid Crafts and Kort og gotd. Lace and metal corners are also from WOC. Tons of chrystal stickles and some die cuts made with Magnolia dies finish this creation off.

Love n hugs
Marie
