Magnolia DT, Sketch + Stash 8 + Spoonfull of Sugar 47

Here is another Magnolia DT card using stamps from the new Chasing Butterflies Collection 09. I have based my card on this weeks fab sketch at Sketch + Stash and the card also fits this weeks challenge at Spoonfull of Sugar, which is to use die cuts or punches on your card.
Isn't this new Tilda gorgeous and I love the fab sentiment stamp, the new Magnolias are so sweet. I have embossed the yellow piece of card with a Spellbinders Impressibilities Die in the Wizard and the flowers are cut with EK Success punches. I have added lots of glitter to the wings but for some reason it doesn't show up to well, I think my camera is playing up again. Supplies

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.

I hope you are having a great Easter Sunday and are enjoying the lovely sunny weather.Supplies
