Hello.

Today we're starting a new challenge at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.  The new theme is 'Hearts and Flowers.'  For complete details of the challenge and how you can join in the fun, visit the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog site.  Don't forget to check out what my DT teammates have created to inspire you to play along with us.

Here's the card that I came up with...

This is how I've decorated the inside of my card.

Close-ups of the two adorable Tilda's being featured:

- Poppy Tilda is a Special Stamp from Sweden edition

- Up Up and Away is from the With Love Collection 2013

Both of these Magnolia stamps are available from Magnolia-licious, Diana's on-line store where she carries a large selection of both full-size and mini Magnolia stamps.  And if you don't see the particular one you are looking for, e-mail Diana and I'm sure she will be happy to bring it in for you.
