It's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stamping Pixies Challenge Blog. And sadly to say, this will also be our last challenge. The theme for this challenge is Love/Valentine.
Here's my DT card...
I am featuring this adorable curly-haired gal called Tilda Sending Love Letters. She is an older Tilda from Magnolia's Sweet Crazy Love Collection 2011.
This stamp and other Magnolia stamps, both full-size and mini, are available from Magnolia-licious on-line store. Owner Diana really has the best discounted prices for them. She gives excellent service and you get to earn 2% in-store credit with every purchase--cool!
And woo-hoo...new to the store are those wonderful Wee Stamps designed by Sylvia Zet--my fave stamps next to Magnolia!! Check them out HERE.
This card is actually an easel card...
with an added swing-away panel at the bottom to hide a blank space where you can write your personal message.
If you're interested in how to make this type of cards, sometime ago I made a tutorial for a round card instead of an oval one--HERE.
