Ok, I'll admit it (along with over half of the rest of the country probably!) I'm sick of winter, and that includes the snow, ice, snowmen (yes, snowmen ~ they are cute and all, but they are snow!), the slipping and sliding, worrying about how late the buses are going to run, etc. Ok done venting! Much better! LOL! Happy March! If your still reading this post (which you must be if you are reading this) thanks for letting me vent! :) On to my card for today, which I am actually super excited about. I colored Tilda (Magnolia) over the weekend, not knowing really what I was going to use her for. I was playing with some new Copic Sketch markers I got over the weekend (E00, YRoo, & R02 for skin tones). Magnolias are perfect images for playing with skin tone color. So I was also looking through the list of challenges I had written down over the weekend tonight, and I thought I could combine these two challenges together:
For the texture challenge, my textures were the purple-white dotted DP (the white dots are raised), the Sage Shadow panel (which I ran thru the cuttlebug with the Candy Cane Stripe Embossing Folder), and of course the pretty lavender ribbon from PTI. If you want to count one more, the bling (Kaisercrafts) might "work" (you can rub your finger over it for a nice feeling ~ LOL)
No more winter cards from me, I'm all ready for spring! Now, back to putting those heavy sweaters away.....

Hee hee, I got a chuckle out of your post. I am so ready for spring, too, but just heard there is another slushy mess heading our way tonight or tomorrow (shouldn't amount to much though). I am ready for temps in the 50s . . . come on spring! Okay enough blah blah from me, too, I guess. LOL
I actually stopped by to tell you thanks for joining us at KL Stampin N Scrappin this week for our sketch challenge. You totally ROCKED it. Love the Maggie, love the colors and textures, and wish you luck in winning the prize. :) Stop by next Monday to see if you won.
Gorgeous, gorgeous card. I love it! I've been looking around your blog. So many beautiful cards. You are quite talented!
