Magnolia Love and Etsy Inspired Challenge

This is a card made for the Etsy Inspired Challenge at XS Baggage Company.  Wax Fruit Company is the sponsor this week.  All you need to do is go to XS Baggage and get inspired by one of their items listed.  My card was inspired by the MacBook Air 11 Inch Padded Netbook Sleeve Case Cover.  I just love the colors in this.
This is a wonderful magnolia image from the Wax Fruit Company.  You should check out Ariel's site if you haven't done so already.  She has some really lovely lovely images.  The recipe is:

• Digi Stamp:  Wax Fruit Company
• Ink:  SU Crumb Cake 
• Paper:  Archivers lime peel
• Miscellaneous:  SU Die, Cuttlebug folder, flourish stamp unknown, Stickles, Prisma pens  Inked the edges with a little Tea Dye distress by Tim Holtz.

SPRING

This is my entry for the Simon Says Stamp challenge.  This week's theme is one word - any one of your choice.  That is just so clever.  I've been wanting to use some of the digis that I downloaded from Digital Two for Tuesday.  The bench is just so cute and I love the big bush of sunflowers.  I colored with watercolor pencils and my Prisma pens.  I used Spellbinders new Nested Leaves for the leaves on the big sunflower and also the sunflower itself.  I just love Spellbinders.  The word I chose was "Spring" which was Tim Holtz alpha cuts.  I also used Tim Holtz Texture Fade embossing folder Woodgrain for the background paper and also on the leaves.  Hope you like and Happy Spring to you!

SAVED CARDS TO VIEW

Here are some cards I had made and took pics of but forgot to post.  One is even Christmas - oh my goodness - that long huh?  Time just seems to slip away from me and before you know it another year has passed.
