simply and midweek magnolia challenges

hey there!  ive made a cute little card here and i want to share it with you :)  ive made this card for the simply magnolia challenge and their theme was embossing with wet or dry techniques ( i did both)  and the other one is the midweek magnolia challenge and their theme was elegance.  here's what i came up with useing both themes.


 i love the way this card turned out!  i really challenged myself to use only scraps of paper to make this card.  even the card base is a scrap of cardstock.

here's a close up of cute little tilda.  the heart frame around the side is wet embosses with white and inked pink.  the background is dry embossed with daises. 


here's a close up of the corner with the roses.  you can tell better that i patchworked the scraps of paper in the background.  i  wanted to reflect tilda's patchwork wrapping job on her heart present. :)



well that's it for me today! :) i love this card and i hope you do too :)
