A VERY SPECIAL MAGNOLIA MOMENT at TOMIC

HI EVERYONE!
Today as my darling hub worked in the kitchen, I was busy in my craft room creating a special  card (well I think it's special.. lol) for the Official Magnolia Inspiration challenge
And what a wonderful challenge site it is, especially with all the gorgeous DT cards and other challenge recipients. I feel humble to even participate. 
And of course you can't overlook the other fab challenge sites:)
So here is some pictures of my card...Oh,  it's an easel card my 2nd one ever!
Here is the front of my easel card. I chose the background paper from the Kaisercraft Up, Up and Away collection, and all the papers are really pretty. 
The background digital images I used are Lover's Pavilion, Petals and Paling's from 
Make it Crafty and of course Tilda. 
To colour the entire scene and Tilda, I used quite a few methods : Copic Markers, Derwent pencils, gold, copper, and brown gel pens, and dimensional paints. It took me quite a few hours to get it right and I really liked the end result. I hope you do too:)
I used some cream roses and the touched a few up with  vintage photo distress ink, and I just bought the Tim Holtz corner flourish 2, and had to use those too. There is some cream lace I used as well.
 The lovely sentiment I found in the friendship quotes by an unknown, and printed it up in Microsoft Office, as well as a small banner that I created. I thought the two came together nicely. I added silicone under the banner to give it some dimension.
Here is a front view of the entire easel card
and also a side view.. Sorry for the amount of pics but I wanted you to see from all angles and if you notice the second and last picture,  I left the filter on my camera and gives the card a really mustard brown look.
I haven't always been a lover of easel cards but after making this, who knows you may see a few more.
As always thanks for looking and hope to see you all soon
