Tilda, Edwin and... Pippin

Hi everyone!
I have two cards to share with you today! Hope you won't get bored with so many pictures...hehe.
I have really missed my Magnolias lately and thought I should make a card using both Tilda and Edwin for the Magnolia-licious Highlites challenge which ends tomorrow.  Sharon said we shoul use both Tilda and Edwin on our cards so I did:) but added one more Tilda just for the symmetry:). I chose 3 stamps from the Magnolia 2011 Butterfly Dream Collection- oh, how I love these and made a sort of  accordion card or something because I really felt like using my Scor-pal these days:) Hope you like it!




Recipe: 
Coloring medium: Promarkers
DP: Echo Park- A walk in the Park
Embellies: Wild Orchid Crafts roses, ribbon,lace, charm and pins from The Ribbon Girl, stickles,
Dies: nestabilities label 8 (I guess) and Parisian accents, Magnolia Doohikey's dragonflies and lovely fence
Sentiments: Lili of the Valley

My second card is a birthday card I made for the Digital Delights where I was invited as a guest designer this week and I thought I should post it too. There are some very cute stamps in their  Digital Delights shop, eventually I chose this adorable Birthday Pippin here and a perfect sentiment to go with to put this card together. I think it looks cute:)

Oh my goodness! Iulia this magnolia card has to be one of the best I have seen. It is bright, it is fresh and it is colored so beautifully.
I love how you colored tilda's dress in two colors having a red top to it. He hair is perfectly colored. Edwin looks fabulous and tilda with stuffed toy looks amazing. The whole card is stunning.

Thought you might like to know what I brought with my prize.
I got that lovely fence die that you have used on here and the Magnolia stone path stamp. Once again thank you so much.
