Magnolia Birthday Card

Hello everyone, isn't it wonderful that the sun is still shining and everything is blooming. I have a few birthday cards to make one of which is extra special - for my Mum who will be 84 and loves flowers - hopefully this card will fit the bill! 

The image was a pressie from my bestest friend Craftykitten - thank you my darling. It is of course a Tilda from the You Are So Special set and is called Congratulation Tilda. Here is a closeup.........

The swirly bits and dots in the image have been glittered with a purple glitter and the rest of the image was coloured with watercolour crayons. The swirls in the background have been stamped using the Best Friend Swirls set from Sheena Douglass - in pink and purple ink. The embossed centura pearl card was done using the Divine Swirls cuttlebug folder. The word paper was from an old book, I covered it with Dusty Concord and Worn Lipstick distress inks and then sprayed it with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (Pearl), then I ripped the paper to make it a bit more interesting!

The beautiful pins were a Birthday Present from Dawn AKA CraftyKitten - thank you hun. I have used them behind some flowers I bought at Quixotic Paperie called Icy Blossoms (only they don't have the colour I have used)

I will enter this card in the following challenges:-
