Tulips anyone?

We have braved the weather and gone for a walk up the lane to feed the ponies. Ellie went on her scooter and Beth sat on her bike and we pushed her!! Its a bit blowy and bothe Beth and I have had asthma attacks thanks to the wind.

To recover I have made another card (having wrestled my inks away from Ellie!!)
This card covers these challenges (I haven't joined in some of these challenges for ages)
Stamp Something - Pink Somethings
Basic Grey Challenge - sketch (I had to squidge bits and stretch bits to make the image fit!!)
Roses on Paper - layers
Magnolia Down Under - Thank you

Tilda is watercoloured and then matted, along with the dp onto green cardstock. I love this BG paper 9need to get more!!). As we are on holiday I had no ribbon to match so I used the dp as the band in the middle. I punched some flowers and leaves and added some pearls. I didn't add a sentiment as I wrote thank you on the tag on the flower.

Ellie has a little guessing game on her blog - you can win some ribbons, flowers, images from my stash (yes she decided to give away candy from my stash!!)

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Magnolia Tulip Tilda
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: Basic grey
Embellishments: pearls from stash
