Okay, so I'm officially tired of winter! Not that we even HAD a real winter here in this part of BC... what the heck, we hardly had any snow this year! Not that I'm complaining :o) I know some of you were snowed-in for quite some time and I sure don't envy you!
But I'm tired of the cold and the grey skies... I sure could use some sunshine!!
Soooooo... the challenge over at our Magnolia-licious Yahoo group was perfect! Create a BRIGHT card for the March homepage... Well, without further ado, here it is... (Make sure to put on a pair of sunglasses first! LOL!)
View from the side, so you can see some dimension:
A little more detail:
And the Copics I used for coloring little Tilda and the tulips border:
Materials used:
Stamps: Magnolia (Sweetheart Tilda from Love Collection 2009, Swing from Lilac Collection 2008 and Tilda's Little Birds); Close To My Heart (sentiment)
Designer Paper: Berry Sweet by K&Company
Flowers: Prima
Ribbon: Michaels
Punches: Stampin'Up! (under sentiment) and Martha Stewart (Tulip border punch and branch punch)
Glitter: Stampendous
Colored with Copics.
If you haven't had a chance yet to see the new Magnolia Hoppy Easter collection.... hop over to 7Kids and check it out here! Coming in March, and oh-so CUTE!!! Gotta love new Maggies!!
Now, if anyone has a good idea how to make some extra $ to pay for it all... let me know! :o)
