Two 4 One !!!!!!!!


Well I thought I would get a two 4 one going here, I have so much work to do this weekend so I thought this was the easiest way to get all the challenges done. Sorry !!
This week on Cute Card Thursday the theme was patterned paper. So I used a couple of different patterns on the card and colored the Magnolia images in with my copic markers. Added some eyelets and ribbon and some prima flowers oh and some stickles on Tilda's wings.
Now for the Tilda & CO Challenge Blog it was to use torn paper. So all of my layers except for the card base is torn and I distressed it with some vintage distressed ink. All stamps are Magnolia except the grass is from High Hopes

But I am so glad it is healing for I can't wait to start using it again the old left hand is getting mighty tired lol
