fold it card...Just Magnolia card!

I hope you were able to enjoy a wonderful Easter weekend. The weather here was so fabulous...that I just could not bring myself indoors to create! Today however is a very gloomy, so after getting lots of chores done around here I headed to the craft room to make a card for the Just Magnolia challenge! The challenge this week sounded like so much fun...FOLD IT! You must have a minimum of two folds on your card/project! Sound like fun...go check it out!

I really had a hard time taking a picture of this card so I could show you the whole card properly. Sorry about that! For Tilda and the spring image I brought out the prisma pencil crayons, and then for the background, fence and grass I used copics.
This is were my two extra folds are...I little gate that opens up to announce..Happy Spring!
Well...I am off to make another card hopefully! I was really liking the sketch for the challenge over at Magnolia-lious! Nice and simple...so that is always fun! Claudia Rosa designed the sketch for this weeks challenge. So if you have time and love those Magnolia's head on over!
Have a wonderful day! Thank-you so much for taking the time to come and visit!
