Tilda for two challenges

Another card for today, yes this has gotta be a record for me, three posts in a day.
When i have time to play, its always my Magnolias that i seem to turn to, perhaps its because i have so many that have never even seen ink.  I cried for an age to get this darling couple and then never found the time to use them, so i decided for the challenge on Totally tilda who want to see hand made flowers, i would use this stamp, i am also gonna be using the sketch from  MDUC and enter this card there.  The sketch ahs lots of layers which i love and of course i have a weakness for sketches when i am playing as i dont really need to think too much.
i have used paper from 7 Gypsies that i have had forever, and all the rest of the paper is cardstock that i have run through the bug and embossed, used one of my ek success punches for around the couple, i know it looks rather uneven, but i kinda think it works for this style of card, used a large luggage tag for one of my layers, i hand made and paper moulded all my flowers using various punches and added lots of pearl garlands and flat backed pearls, after inking all the edges.  The lace was from my stash.  I gave the brides a tad of stardust to give it a bit of a shimmer not sure you can see it in the pictures.
thats me off to talk to the sand man
See you later in the week
