A Thank You side step card

Hello!  It's a new month, so it's a new colour challenge at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.  Here's what  I came up with for my DT card. 

Honestly, I don't think I've ever made a more colourful card than this...LOL.  Tracy is our hostess for the month of April and her challenge is to use BRIGHT COLOURS.  Here's her picture to inspire you...

I hope you will join us in the challenge.  For more inspirations, hop over to the challenge blog HERE and have a look at the fabulous cards of my DT teamates.

This is of course another front panel side step card.  Except this time rather than using the usual template, I've played around with the measurements and widen the side panels as well as the bottom one.  The card is actually 7 inches across.   Another view of the card from a different angle--more to the side...   

I am featuring a couple of Magnolia images here.  This adorable gal is Kneeling Tilda from the Sweet Rainbow Collection 2011.  The flowery background is from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection 2012 called Tilda's Heart Flowers.  Colouring is done using my Letraset Promarkers and Tria markers.

Magnolia stamps are available from Magnolia-licious, Diana's on-line store.  She has a large selection of the full-size stamps, as well as the mini stamps.  Also check out the selection of dies there.  I especially love the exquisite Memory Box and Poppy Stamps dies.  I am using one of them here, the Memory Box Honeysuckle Vine--isn't it gorgeous?  The dies are so popular that Diana has to keep restocking them--you have to be quick in ordering to get them...LOL!  And she is constantly bringing new ones in too. I just can't get enough!!!

Here's a view of the inside of the card.  

This Tilda is from one of Magnolia's older collections.  She is called Wrapped Tilda from the So Jolly & Under The Mistletoe Collection 2009.  The original image has Tilda wearing a huge bow on her back, but I've cut it out for this card.
