Cute and girly

I have not been working today, so after a brisk trot home from Pre-school, I spent an hour in my craft room making a card for some challenges:
Stamp with fun - Stripes
Pollycraft - Summer Blooms
Papertake Weekly Challenge - Say it with flowers
A Spoonfull of Sugar - Cute and Girly
Passion for Promarkers - Fantasy/Mythical
Just Magnolia - One for the Girls
Creative Inspirations - fairies
I am loving this latest Magnolia collection, and used my promarkers to colour this sweetie in. I used my nesties to cut the matt out and then inked the edges. I love these BG papers and they are so pretty and girly. I raided the last dregs of my Poppicraft flowers for the blooms and added some organza ribbon. I need to find a new outlet for my flat flowers ... any suggestions?

The card is for a friend's birthday on Thursday. I am hoping she won't notice the wonky bits, yes there are wonky bits as walking home meant walking across Rape seed fields and through a small wooded area ... fab for the hayfever!!! I have sneezed all morning!

I am plannnig to catch up with some DT work later on ... just putting my feet up with a cup of tea before the school run!

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Magnolia Fairy Tilda
Colouring Media: Promarkers
Papers: Basic Grey Eva
Embellishments: from stash
