On Your Special Day

Having recently got back from a trip to see my sister and her family in Spain over Easter and getting a bit of warm sunshine, and then seeing the sunshine this morning, I thought I would make a bit of a spring-like card.
The usual spring themes are daffodils but, looking out of my window this morning and seeing our Magnolia tree starting to break open its buds, inspired me to use the beautiful Tilda with Magnolia Branch stamp, together with the pretty Magnolia background stamp.
 As I am entering this card into the Bearly-Mine Challenge, I based the design on a sketch required for the challenge.  The smaller panel of background paper was taken from Crafters Companion Humphrey's Year CD.
 The images were coloured using Spectrum Noir pens.  Now I am off for a walk on the seafront and a late lunch to make the most of this springlike weather!

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

The Ribbon Girls - Add flowers
Marvelous Magnolia Challenge - Anything Goes
Crafters Companion - Flowers
Spectrum Noir - Spring
Bearly-Mine - Follow a sketch
Tilda's Town - F&F or U&E

    What a pretty Tilda card you have made. It fits the Bearly Mine Challenge this week well of “a sketch”. Thank you for taking part and best wishes in the draw. Kym (Bearly Mine Challenge Blog Design Team)
