DT Magnolia

Tonight is another fast post because I just finished my second Stamper's Club and I am pretty tired. This card was finished yesterday, but I have not been able to post till now. I wanted to create something a little different. I wanted my Tilda to be a beautiful brown with dark hair.....like me. I am half Mexican, and wanted her to reflect some of my own heritage. ( my other half is Hungarian). The background panel was created using the images from the Magnolia Goblin line. Tilda is from the most rescent release of their Lilac line. This has such beautiful woodland accessories. I wanted it to look like she was walking through a forest. Tilda was stamped on water color paper, and colored with Caran D'ache watercolor pencils, Twinkling H2O's and Radiant pearls. Back panel was stamped with PTI Stampers select white and colored with Copic Markers and Twinkling H2O's. Paper, CS and flowers are all from Magnolia's web shop. Oh and if you have not heard the news, Magnolia's new forum has opened. Keep checking it out to see upcoming events and information.
