Hello!
This is another favorite type of card for me. It is a front-panel side step card.
New stuff for me to play with for this card. This adorable image is from Magnolia's new Sweet Crazy Love Collection 2012. She is called Tilda with Daisy. Love that Memory Box die of Delicate Vine--isn't it gorgeous?--and the Magnolia die Wild Strawberry leaf--love this die because the leaves are embossed. All of these are available from Diana's on-line store Magnolia-licious. Check out all the Magnolia stamps, doohikey cutting dies, magazines, Memory Box and Marinanne Design dies. She offers fabulous discounts and you can get store credits too.
This is how I decorated the inside of my card.
I've put another Tilda here. This one is called Travelling Tilda from the Bon Voyage Collection 2010.
