Magic Card - Magnolia-licious July Colour Challenge

Hello.  

It's the second Tuesday in July and it's time for a new colour challenge at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.  Here's the card that I created. 

Suzan is our hostess of the month.  She has chosen the colour combo of red, white and blue for the challenge.  I hope you will play along with our challenge--you have a couple of weeks!  For inspirations, have a look at the fabulous cards of my DT teammates displayed at the challenge blog HERE. Diana is offering a $25 Gift Certificate for her store Magnolia-licious to the lucky winner.

This Magnolia image that I've coloured with my markers is of Tilda Loves Flowers--just like me...LOL  

This style of card was created by Marianne and she calls this a 'secret card'.  I found her tutorial for it HERE at the Scandinavian on-line magazine StampARTic.

A side view here so you can see the layers.

The fold of the card is at the top.  

This image is of the adorable Tilda as a Star.  

Both of the Tilda's I've coloured here are from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection 2012.  The stamps for the images are available from Magnolia-licious, Diana's on-line store.  Check out her store for her excellent selection of full-size and mini Magnolia stamps, as well as cutting dies from Memory Box, PoppyStamps, Magnolia, Marianne Design and Cheery Lynn.  The prices are discounted and as a bonus you also earned 2% credit to be applied to future purchases.  Sweet!
