Spring is right around the corner Blog Hop!



The Magnolia-licious Highlites Design Team is hopping into Spring this month! What fun and inspiration there is in store for you.

If you've hopped on over from the extremely creative and talented Mindy's blog you're headed in the right direction! If you've just jumped into my blog, please go Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge Blog to get the right order. From here you're going to head on over to the equally talented Sharon's blog to feast your eyes on her magnificent creation. I'm telling you girls, you don't want to miss a single stop on this hop!

I had kind of worked ahead on my card this time while I waited for my SU Blushing Bride cardstock to arrive. So when it did arrive, the card just fell into place. This month I have chosen the completely adorable #321 Hello Little Butterfly image from Magnolia-licious. I'm sorry to say that she is only available in the Mini size at the moment. You'll have to check with Diana to see if she will be stocking this image in the near future.

So here is what I came up with...



And here's a close up of this pretty Tilda...



As you know I really prefer to work with soft colors and use lots of flowers and pearls. I can really get creative in this medium!

I always like to show you a side angle view of my cards...



I was so inspired by my pretty dp in pink that I got a little carried away on the inside. I don't think there are really any 'pink' mushrooms, except in Fairy land, but for me there is...



Here is the salutation panel. I made a pocket and jazzed it up and added another oval shape to write out your greeting...



Here is the panel out of the pocket...



And to bring it all to a close, here is my 'artsy' angled photo...



For those who are interested, here is my card recipe:

Card Stock - SU Blushing Bride, Generic white and Xpress It Blending card
DP - Vintage Whimsey by 'the girl's paperie' which I found at my local LSS
Copics:
Skin - E0000, 00, 11, chalk for cheeks
Hair - E30, 31, 34
Apron/Mushrooms - R81, 83, 85, E40, 41, 42, 43
Leaves - G43
Dress/Boots - C00, 1, 3
SB Classic Ovals Large and Large Scalloped
Magnolia Vintage Lace die, Hear Swirl Die
Flowers/ribbon/pearls - stash
Butterflies - MS punch
Distress Inks - tattered rose and weathered wood

Now that you've finished your hop stop here at my blog please don't forget to head on over the the uber talented Sharon Caudle's blog. There's lots more spring inspiration ahead of you, so keep on hoppin'.
