Hi everyone,

I am joining the Sweet Magnolia Midway Team with a card for our current challenge at  Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia which is:

 Flowers

(this can be paper flowers, floral backing paper, a Magnolia image with flowers etc).

I have coloured up one of the new Maggies called 'Cocoa Tilda with Snow Flurries' and masked her with an older stamp called Winter Bench.

I decided to make a circular ease card for a change and not that you can see them, but some Magnolia papers which I've had in my stash for ages.

Just peeping out from underneath the image is some cheesecloth and I've place some beautiful pearl string around the image, to add to the flowers I've painted some pine cones with gesso, apart from the gesso, these are  all available at the Ribbon Girl.

Most of the dies are Joy dies, but the small snowflake dies come with the image and I've  added some pearls to the centres.

DI list:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick

Hair: Grand Espresso, Walnut Stain,
Jumper and : Weathered Wood
