A Pretty Magnolia Card.

I love being me, I love my age, everything, but just every now and again, something happens and you have a little touch of nostalgia, well today is one of those days.  I have just been to collect my granddaughters prom dress. It is to die for.......stunning  !!  Black and gold, I adore it !  Will it fit me.....no !  Oh to be 17 years old and a lovely size 10 . She is half Spanish and is a beautiful girl, so will look amazing.  Ah....must go on a diet ( probably not  ! )

So today I have a Magnolia card to show you.  I have not done a Magnolia card for such a long time as there have been so many lovely stamps out there from different stamp companies, and have had to use them, plus of course my Shabby Chic cards.

I have used Maja Design card for the back ground and the lovely butterfly is from La La Land

 

The pretty filigree bow is from Sue Wilson dies and I have popped a white rose in the middle.

Tilda has been coloured using Copic pens,. I keep looking at the talented crafters that use distress inks, so whilst I have used them I am not so confident, must try harder !

 

 

The dog daisy I have had for some time, but the leaves, maidenhair fern is a new die that I have bought, again a Sue Wilson die. I didn't have the correct green that I wanted, so die cut in white and sprayed with green, left to dry and then added to my card. 

 

A small decorated  stick pin behind the flower to finish off.

 

 

I hope you like my Magnolia card, than you for stopping by, must go now, my turn to collect one of my grandchildren from school, hugs  xx
