Just Magnolia Challenge.....

Evening Everyone,
It's been a scorcher here today, a bit too hot for me and this afternoon it turned into one of those horrible sticky heats so  a second shower was the answer..I'd had a lovely morning my cousin called in I hadn't seen much of her these past few weeks as she has gone to live with her daughter for the time being following her divorce so it was lovely to catch up sat out in the garden...Luckily I had this card made already from sunday....

I would like to enter this card into the following challenge...

Just Magnolia - Sketch by Bev

Tilda is coloured with my polychromos blended with sansador I have used spun sugar distress ink around the edge and then cut and matted with my nesties...The papers are all the girls paperie and the flowers,ribbon and sentiment are from my stash...
I was asked by a lady to make her a set of cards all the same except for the image and she wanted me to make them simple and to use my Dollie Mama stamps I brought these many moons ago when I first started to get interested in stamping and I just don't use them enough these days...I thought I would show you one card a day there are 11 in total so here is the first......


not the best pic I know but here is a close up....



The saying says" I love giving handmade gifts...pick a child"...
At least she was pleased with them....Anyway that's it from me for today,catch you all tomorrow....
