Queen for a day!

I sure am learning a lot as I whittle down my Mad March Birthdays list... especially what works for me and what doesn't!  Including blogger at the moment!  I keep signing up to follow blogs and by the next day I am no longer following... hmmmm

Okay todays card is again my Magnolia "Christmas Tilda With Puppy" but she is not for Christmas again today since I wanted to explore the image a little more after yesterdays effort.  I think she lends herself quite well to birthdays!  Anyway enough babble... the card:




To tie in with a Shabby Chic theme everything including the lace (given to me many years ago by my Mother In Law!) got a good dabbing of Tim Holtz Distress Ink... I did find there is a fine line between "distressed" and "too much" lol.

The Challenges... well firstly... thanks to all of the Challenges for giving me some direction and some deadlines!  No I don't expect to win anything but you are all giving me some great ideas!  Now the ones this card is entered in...

Crafty Sentiment Designs... This was a difficult one for me... Pretty in PINK! (I definitely managed lots of pink though and this stamp is sooooo Pretty!)
Our Creative Corner... Shabby Chic with Fabric Flowers and a Crown... There is also the colours from the inspirations photo, pretty pink... light blue and Tim Holtz's antique linen (I am wearing this inkpad out!).
Marvelous Magnolia - Anything goes!  Very nervous about entering this one... everyone's entries there look like they have been crafting since they were born! 

Materials:
Stamps:  Magnolia "Christmas Tilda with Puppy"; "Queen For the day" from the Cool Britannia collection by Louise Allen.
Cardstock and doilies from my stash.
Inks: Memories Dye ink - black; Tim Holtz Antique Linen.
Embossing: Cuttlebug embossing folder "Wrought Iron"
Circle and Scalloped Circle: Spellbinders.
Lace and fabric flowers were from my stash. (It's amazing what I find when I go digging in boxes!)
Pencils: Faber Castell.
Punch: Martha Stewart Doily Lace.

Anyway... I hope you like this one... it's growing on me...

    Hello Sarah
    This card is a real cutie, but it is the prettiness that appeals mostly with all the yummy lace features you have going on; the doily, embossing and border, I am very partial to pretty!
    Thanks so much for joining us at Our Creative Corner this week we are thrilled to see your work.
    Smiles:)
