A GIRLS BEST FRIEND

Hi Friends, hoping everyone is well.  Weather is crazy all over the place.  Thinking about those that are experiencing devastating floods and tornados.

Today's card is a Magnolia Tilda card.  I have so many of these delightful little children and haven't inked them up in a long time, so thought I would have a play.

I made this card, a pop-up book card from a pattern I found online last week, and changed up the pattern to make it 5x7 inches.  I also saw that it is the Try a New Technique for Monday this week on Split Coast Stampers and directions are given for two different sizes.

Stamps - Princess Tilda and two pups, Magnolia

All dies are Spellbinders

Sentiment is computer generated

Papers - White card stock and designer paper all from Michael's.

Stickles - Star Dust and Silver

Dog paw and hearts old small punches

Flowers from my stash, with candi centers

I'm going to enter this card in the following challenges;

Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog - Tuesday Challenge - Pretty in Pink

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day.  Until later.
