Wow, last day of the year!!! So I guess this is my last card to show you for 2011. It can be a Happy New Year card if you only see the front of the card, but it's actually a birthday card.
This Magnolia image is called Celebration 1 Tilda. She was at one time an exclusive stamp for Creashop Duymelot, but she is now part of Sweet Crazy Love Collection 2012 and available from Diana's on-line store Magnolia-licious where you and I can get all kind of stuff that are Magnolia--stamps, doohikey cutting dies, magazines (along with discounts and store credits).
This is how I've decorated the inside of the card. Not much embellishments except for those Memory Box die cuts. Don't you just love those exquisite designs from Memory Box? The Memory Box dies are also available from Magnolia-licious here.
The adorable gal sitting there is called Tilda with Pie--yeah, I keep looking for a pie to go with this image, but no sign of it anywhere...LOL. She is also from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection 2012.

Gorgeous card Norma! I love all the layers! This prompts me to ask how you get such close layers? Do you trace around the outside of the die and cut by hand or what? I have seen it on other blogs as well and never been able to figure out how the effect is achieved. Thanks!
Norma..your card is soooo awesome. Your coloring is fantastic and I love the colors you chose to use and all the embellies!!!
hugs...Pam:)

Golly Norma, this is just so gorgeous.. the color combination is just too perfect and amazing.. who would have thought of that .. I just need to get my paper and go with it, but I see a paper and am too afraid to use those colors, but must just go with it like you do.. your layout is amazing as is your coloring of all Tilda's. You have done another beautiful job..
Hugs, Jean
