Another Birthday Swing Card

Hello.   

Here's another swing card I've made--with a different-shaped centre panel.  

This one is in one of my fave colour combo--teal and brown--and I am also using a DP that I just luvvvv.....and woo-hoo I have lots of them 'cause I stocked up when they were on sale...LOL.   I've used the Tilda with Butterfly Jeans image for the front of the card--from Magnolia's Butterfly Dreams Collection 2011.  Images for this card were coloured with markers (colours listed below at the end of posting).

For the flip side I've used this adorable image of Bridesmaid Tilda from Magnolia's Wedding Collection 2010.  For creating the centre panel, I was trying a new shape and used the Spellbinder Grand Labels Four die.

I've decorated the card with die cuts made with an exquisite Memory Box die called Valencia Border,  available from Magnolia-licious--I love this die.  Not only can I use the gorgeous swirly design (middle of the card), but I can use the pieces inside the swirls.  They're gorgeous too and I've used them at the sides of the card.  Waste not want not!

By the way, both these Magnolia images of Tilda and the Memory Box die you can get from Magnolia-licious. Check out the fabulous collection of full-size and mini-size Maggies that Diana has, as well as the selection of dies--Memory Box, PoppyStamps and Magnolia Doohickies--and other crafting tools.
