Friday Sketchers - Magnolia

This is one of my new images from Magnolia, isn't she a darling!!! I am not an orange person and have probably said this in the past, but I think it goes quite well with the green and the DP. I did have a struggle finding some flowers to go along with the colour scheme. These are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I bought them such a long time ago these are what are left. Must get more!


I have added some glitter to the flowers and the paper because the challenge over on the Just Magnolia and  Hanglar Spanglar challenge blog is to use glitter on your design. I have also used the wonderful sketch from Friday Sketchers. So if any of you want to join in just follow the link for either or both blogs. I have coloured the image with my beloved copics..


As I am using more flowers and the sizes are getting bigger I thought I would create boxes for my cards. A nice touch I thought and they look so much nicer when receiving them. I created a template to go with each card so they fit perfectly and also used a MS punch for the decorative sides.

I love the green and orange colors on this delightful card. Quite typically they are fall colors, but paired with the beautiful paper they are so springy. I haven't had a chance to ink this Tilda up yet, but she is so adorable. Love the way you colored her!
Hugs,
Barb

Your card is WONDERFUL and so is the box!! Great idea to punch the edges of the box lid. I may have to borrow your idea the next time I do a box! Thanks for sharing.
