Magnolia Down Under Challenge #39

Hope you are all having a relaxing weekend.  One more week and we have school holidays here - a two week break for the kids.  We plan to go camping with the boys and I'm really looking forward to that.  Will be great to have a more relaxed routine for a bit.  The boys are so excited to be camping out in our new camping trailer.  I can see some camping LO's coming up soon.

Anway, I'm here to show you my card for the latest challenge over at Magnolia Down Under Challenges.  I'm really enjoying working with the challenges that Kel has come up with - this weeks was so much fun and I'm sure you are all going to love it.
You need to create a card with Stitching - either fake or real!!
So here's my card:
I recieved this cute stamp in the mail this week which I had ordered from Kellie, along with some gorgeous new papers and flowers.  Wow, they are so pretty!
This is Tilda with flowing hair - the pattern papers are from the Some Bunny Loves You pack. 
This card measures 13cm x 13cm and I've used a white base, then layered on the pattern paper.  I've used my 'mini' sewing machine to do the stiching around the edge of the pattern paper.
I've used a paper lace doiley and some doily trim in yellow from my stash of ever growing colour doiley remnants.
Tilda has been coloured in with Copic markers.
For the embellishments, I've used a leaf and rose and I've made my own buttons from embroidery fabric - they turned out rather sweet and were perfect to use for this challenge with stitching.
Lastly I've added a small sentiment from a clear stamp and used the circle punches.
Here's a closer look at the details:
We all hope that you will join in for this challenge - pop over to the Magnolia Down Under Challenge blog to view all the details and what you will be playing for.  I look forward to checking out all the entries.
