A little Magnolia ;o)

Hello - well we have sunshine today although it is still a bit cloudy and I'm not sure the rain will hold off for long, but at least I can get some washing dry!  I thought I'd post a card today which has a Magnolia stamp on - I've had it ages and never really gotten around to using it.  Anyway I am chuffed with this card;







It isn't very often that I am really pleased with a card I make but I do really like this.  I coloured the image with Distress markers.  The floral papers are from the 5th Avenue range by Melissa Frances.  The music paper is from Bazzill as is the pleat across the centre.  I inked everything with vintage photo after distressing the edges.  The flower is cut from a Spellbinders die and I just layered 3 of them up.  I added a dazzle to the centre and die cut a butterfly too.  The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set that I have had for yonks!  I heat embossed it and tore the edges and layered it onto a Spellbinders tag and added a little bit of silky crush ribbon from my stash.  I added a little gem swirl and did the inside of the card to match ;o)  Hope you like her too
