Magnolia-licious Wedding Tilda

Hello Sweet Readers,

OK, it's only June 10 and the temperature has been 109° F.(43° C.)! I can only imagine what the temperatures will be like during the hottest month of July! I'm going to wind up a "Crispy Critter!" LOL It's even too hot for the pool! I hope you are staying cool!

I have a sweet card to share with you today. The current challenge at the Magnolia-licious/Wee Stamps Challenge Blog is Lucious Lace! You must use lace on your Magnolia Tilda card in some way. I decided to challenge myself for this challenge by creating an all white card. Oh, how I wanted to cut pastel paper, but I held back! I love how my card turned out and hope you do, too.

I chose to use Wedding Tilda from the new Magnolia Special Moments Collection. You can find the entire collection at my favorite place to shop, Magnolia-licious. I will have links to the products I've used at the bottom of my post. This has to be my favorite stamp from this lovely collection. When I first saw it, I was totally smitten!

For my card, I chose to thread ribbon through the strips of wide lace. Next came the embellishments. I used several die cuts to add additional elements on the lace. The lace gives the card wonderful texture and a tactile change. When I painted Wedding Tilda, I didn't want to leave the finish flat. I looked through my goodies and found a product that adds sparkle. I think it really makes her dress look elegant. It's very subtle. I had to play with the lighting and the angle of the card so you could see the effect. I also enhanced the image by adding a narrow ribbon bow and some Flower Soft to her bouquet, hair, and ground beneath her feet. Here are the images for the front of my card:





Do you like the front? I sure do! Below are the shots of the interior. I continued with the strips of lace on both sides. The left side has a repeat of the diamond shape found on the front. I didn't want to detract from the woven ribbon, so I left that side very basic. The right side, however, is a totally different thing! LOL I layered die cuts, added pearls and rhinestones. It just looks so pretty. Here are the images:





You can find many of the die cuts and the stamp that I used at the Magnolia-licious Store. Here are the links:
