Tilda and her Bunny


Hi friends, so nice of you to stop by!   I soooo appreciate your visits!

Have you started on your Easter cards yet?  This is my second one and it's with another Magnolia image.  Can you tell Magnolias are one of my favorite stamps?  

My layout is based on this sketch at Simon Says Stamp! and my DP is Wisteria from Basic Grey.   Just minutes before I was going to hit publish last night, I noticed that I had my print going the wrong way--instead of the wisteria hanging down, it was going sideways!    I had to take everything apart to correct it, ugh!   All I can say is thank goodness for Un-du,  I can't live without it, lol! 

I hope this is the beginning of a great week for you.  Thanks for looking and take care!

The challenges I'm entering:
Simon Says Stamp! - Domi's Sketch
Just Magnolia and hAnglar & sTanglar Challenge - Anything Goes, option buttons
Basic Grey Challenge 41 - More than one Fold!
By the Cute and Girly, April - Cute and Girly
Stamptacuylar Sunday Challenge #105 - Buttons, Bling and Bloom!

The recipe:
Stamp:  Magnolia Tilda and her Bunny, Studio G sentiment
Paper:  Basic Grey Wisteria
Ink:  Copic Markers, Memento, Distress Ink
Tools:  Nestabilities,  Tim Holtz paper distresser
Other:  Flowers, buttons, adhesive pearls, pop dots, ribbon
