I Pick You - Virgo Tilda - Magnolia-Licious Challenge

Today is the day for a new challenge over at Magnolia-Licious and it will be a great one, it's Anything Goes!!
There are so many wonderful new Magnolia Stamps out right now that I just had to play both weeks and this week I used one from the brand newZodiac Collection and this one is Virgo Tilda. Now I'm a Scorpio but this one was just so sweet that she had to jump in my shopping cart ;)

Now I didn't have an accessory stamp that worked how I wanted it to so I simply die cut the image in an oval and drew a wall in with my Copic Multiliner to give Tilda something to sit on. I'm not an expert when it comes to the Shabby Chic style but I love the look so much so I gave it a go after stalking a lot of my favorite Magnolia bloggers to get some ideas, plus it gave me a reason to play with a lot of embellishments that I've bought and hoarded.
Talking of embellishments, have you seen the latest additions at the Magnolia-Licious store? they are the most adorable flowers, leaves and vegetables just the right size for the perfect touch of elegance to your card.
So as it is Anything Goes on the challenge you have no excuse, grab a Tilda, get creating and join us at Magnolia-Licious!
