The challenge at Cute Card Thursday this week is to have something shiny on your card. I have used one of my new DT stamps from Toodles and Binks, Guiseppe Forks, isn't he gorgeous.

Magnolia DT + Friday Sketchers 47

Here is the 1st of my DT cards for Magnolia using stamps from the Chasing Butterflies Collection 09 which I have based my card on this weeks fab sketch at Friday Sketchers. This is such a beautiful Tilda stamp and I love the big bouquet of roses, with the little butterfly she is carrying. The sentiment is also from Magnolia and is one of quite a few new ones.
The decorative strip has been made using a Spellbinders Piercerabilities Die, which I have die cut, embossed and pierced. I really like these dies and they make beautiful borders on cards. The big butterfly die cut was in my DT kit and I have just added a few gems for a bit of sparkle.
