Good morning everyone I hope you are all well today, thank you for stopping by my little blog. Today I want to share with you a card I made for the
Totally Tilda challenge 'How Does Your Garden Grow?' I wasn't sure if only Edwin was allowed so, to cover myself on that I added Tilda as a butterfly!
I have used my fabulous, favourite, fantastic 'Fairy Flora' paper pad from Prima (thats a bit of a tongue twister for a monday morning!) and I have distressed it to within an inch of its life to qualify for the challenge over at
Magnolia Down Under. The colours on these papers are so lovely I'm only bringing myself to use it because I bought two pads!
Bunny Zoes Craft challenge want to see 'Spring Flowers Everywhere'
Magnolia-licious Highlites are having a brilliant Blog Hop involving Mini Tilda's & a Spring theme which you should all check out they have an amazing DT.
All That Scraps Magnolia Challenge 'Birthday' theme is still on (this is my 2nd & last entry)
7 Kids College Fund theme of 'Squares' is still running and this is my entry No. 2 of the maximum 3.
I have used Edwin catching Butterflys and Love Fence Doo Hickey Die both from Magnolia, I painted the fence with Antique Linen Crackle Paint, the flowers are from Magnolia and Wild Orchid, the Butterfly is from Craft Essential and the image was coloured with Aqua Markers which I got from Joanna Sheen. It was the first time I have used them - I have a long way to go to master them!!
Thanks for looking especially to those of you that leave a comment and make my day!! I got 30 comments the other week and I was beside myself with joy!! Simple things - please simple minds!!
Love Laurie x x

Such a gorgeous card Laurie. Love the image you've used and the colours also. Hugs Michele x
Hi Laurie,
I love this card! What a beautiful garden scene with the antique fence -and the flowers are gorgeous - I can almost smell them! Love the idea of Tilda as a butterfly. You have coloured them really well! I have a few AquaMarkers and they are quite different! - I think they are more like watercolour painting. Seeing your wonderful colouring has made me want another go with them. I've only got about 3 shades though!!! it would have to be monochrome maybe LOL
