Just Magnolia Challenge - Rach's Sketch & Friendship Challenge

Well Im up early and posting this because we are of to a Christening at 10.30 this morning, and at the moment the weather is not looking very promising I do so hope it improves or we might be in for a soaking.

Anyway todays card is for the Just Magnolia Challenge, and this is Rach's Sketch, Im also entering it for the Friendship Challenge as well, as I thought it was quite appropriate. Ive stamped my Tilda onto white card then Ive masked her to stamp the scene behind, after which Ive coloured her with my copic pens and then cut her out with my rotatrim, before mounting her onto the dark blue pearlescent card Ive distressed the edges with a pale blue chalk inkpad. The two sentiments are one from Magnolia and the round one is a Just-Rite one, cut out with my Circle Nestabilitie dies, these were also mounted onto the same dark blue card.

The base card is a 8"x 8" white card with a first layer of the same dark blue pearlescent card and a paper I found on one of the Crafters Companion Cds, the second layer is the circle which I punched out with my Circle Nestabilitie die and Ive used a small flower paper on this, the third layer is a piece of light blue pearlescent card and this has a text paper on, I should say that the last two papers are from the Nitwit Download designs.

I have layered up my base card to Rach's Sketch and then mounted my image in the centre with the two sentiments mounts as instructed on the sketch. I felt that the card was a little plain as I had originally designed so I cut out one of Donna's new Dotty Flowers and moulded them with my ball tool, and punched out some fern leaves with two shades of green paper, arranged them on the larger circle and put the flower on top, I then put some orange stickles in the centre. To finish of I found a anchor button and but it at the bottom on the right hand side.
