Magnolia Card - Loves Me Tilda

Every month Magnolia-Licious Highlights blog has a challenge.  I have not had the time to participate in one yet, but this month is different.  There is a sketch by Suzanne Dean this month and I created a card with the sketch and I am entering it in the challenge.
Here's my card, it uses the Magnolia image "Loves Me Tilda" ...... ..... .....

Here is an up close picture of the coloured image.  I used Copic Markers this time ....

And the flower treatment from the bottom left hand corner.  I punched, coloured and shaped the flowers by hand.

The butterfly is a "MS" punch.  I double punched it and glued it together at the body.  Then added some bling.

Another view.  You can just see the inside on this one.

This is a picture of the inside.

And an upclose view of the flowers inside the card.

I used Stampin' Up! cardstock, designer paper and basic rhinestones to creat this card.

Metal Sheets - Fun Flowers Card

Recently I purchased some metal sheets in some lovely colours.  Tonight I got the chance to open the package and use one of the Barn Red sheets.  Oh my it is so lovely.  I loosely followed THIS tutorial and blog post by Monica Weaver.  Monica shares lots of free tutorials and ideas for using these sheets, and she sells them as well!
Here is my creation ..............

Don't you just love it when a card comes together quickly and effortlessly?  This was one of those. 
Here is a closer view of the metal sheet flower .....

Daffodil Delightful!

I saw some awesome Daffodils created from the Fun Flowers Bigz die by Kari Metzger in THIS post.  She made them as a 3D bouquet, I wanted to put them on a card.  The card is awesome, but definitely not one you want to send through the mail!!!  Here is the card I created with the daffodils .....

Aren't those daffodils just the best? And so darned easy to make.  Thanks Kari, for the inspiration.  This will be another card for one of my classes in March which is my Big Shot month.  My stampers have also been asking for another lesson on Brayering, so I think this one also fits that bill.  I also used the Lots of Tags Label 1 die for the sentiment.  I cut one out of Basic Black, sliced it in half and cut off the little pointy things in the middle, then layered it behind a Whisper White one that I stamped the sentiment on.  The leaves are hand cut out of strips of Pear Pizzazz cardstock then I ran them through the crimper.
Stamps:  Kind and Caring Thoughts
Ink:  Pear Pizzazz, Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Basic Black
Cardstock:  Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz
Big Shot Dies:  Fun Flowers, Lots of Tags Label 1
Other:  Crimper, brayers
This card is a little ray of spring sunshine in an otherwise foggy, dreary time of the year.
Happy Stampin'......
