May sketch for Magnolia-licious!

Well, it is another beautiful spring day here in Western New York, made more beautiful by the fact that it's SATURDAY!! Sharon Caudle (Grandma's House of Cards) created the sketch for all to use in May. She is an excellent designer on the Magnolia-licious team! Thanks, Sharon!!
My card base is Kraft and is 5.5" square. I really prefer the traditional A2 size cards because I don't have to find a time to get to the Post Office to have it weighed! I can just pop them into the mail! I'm all about easy!! The Art Impressions dock (that I used here) is bigger than the Magnolia bridge deck so I made this bigger card in order to show off my Cosmo Cricket paper a bit! The card base is Kraft and I used Real red for my mat pieces. Tilda in her swimsuit is raised up on dimensionals. I stamped the dock and then masked it with sticky notes so that I could use my ink pads, grass stamps, stencil brush, cloud template and stencil brush for the background.
Tilda and her dock are colored with copic markers. I took several (well, a LOT!) pictures trying to get a good one. I hope you can see the detail!

I also do very simple insides. I just don't have the time to color another image for the inside. I love all the wonderful cards out there, I just don't have the time! this is about as fancy as I get.

I love my beach EK success punch!! I made more sky and clouds with ink pad and sponging. I don't like how it looks in the middle, but a sentiment will cover that! (I need one that says, "Just sittin' here thinking of you!") I mounted that on red and Kraft and then on more of the Summery Cosmo Cricket paper from the Snorkel Collection.

I realize that I, once again, grabbed a scrap paper and wrote down my copics only to misplace it. It will turn up and I'll post them in an edit.

Here's this little cutie in a close up! I tell you, I love these things! Mine came from Diana at Magnolia-licious. She has stock coming in all the time, great prices and special deals like free shipping and extra goodies.

Off to start some garden work before DH comes in and says, "Are you still on that computer?!"
