Happily Ever Crafting: Loves Me.. Loves Me Not.. Loves Me..

Good morning and happy hump day!

I'm enjoying sifting through some of my older Magnolia stamps and when I found this little cutie I just couldn't resist inking her up again! And I'm really enjoying combining stamps too so I decided that the Magnolia Tree would work really nicely.

I chose to work with Basic Grey Lemonade papers on this occasion and even paper pieced some hearts with the checked design. The little white flowers are Prima and the leaves are from a Martha Stewart punch..... and you'll also spot the DooHickey Fence again, I just love it! Oh and I also punched a little Martha Stewart butterfly which is lurking amongst the leaves.

You might just notice that I glittered Tilda a wee bit, lol! Those wings were just crying out for some fairy dust you see!!

I'm entering the following challenges with this topper:

Crafty Creations - At The Bottom Of My Garden..... Lives!

MDUC - Distressing

Crafty Cardmakers - Fairies + at least two punches

Dutch Dare - Sparkle, Glitter, Bling

PaperPlay - Add Shine

Pile It On - Childhood Dreams

This topper is now available to buy on EBay right here.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a good one!!!

TTFN and TFL, hugs Tara xxx
