Faux pax, the other card

Now that you all have ahd a chance to look at my card for the Tomic challenge i thought i would post the one that i made when i got the challenge wrong, duh!
I'm not gonna go into too much detail as you can see the card is detailed enough and i am sure you all know by now that when you get me going you cant shut me up.  I will say this was a LOT of work.  I almost didnt have enough space for a patterned paper while i was doing it, had i known i was supposed to make my own background paper to start with i would have just stamped a few select flowers and perhaps some grass, but thats what you get for not paying attention.
on my first step: the back one i used:  butterfly background #521 and barefoot Tilda.  The butterfly background was masked and stamped twice so it would fit across the width of my card
on the middle step  i used:  Tilda with straw hat #3011 and Spring tree #657
on the front step i used:  Explore Tilda #211 and kneeling Tilda #259
All of the stamps are available from Magnolia-licious store where you get great discounts and Service with a smile, which i find so lacking in the world we live in today so it really is refreshing to find a store that still appreciates its customers.
I also found a challenge that this card fits so am gonna enter into the challenge on Its a Magnolia challenge

  15. Fabulous card, Paola! Yes, I know this meant LOTS and LOTS of work ; you colored those digis admirably and let me tell you, it's just perfect as it is. Doesn't need any grass or flowers; your gorgeous coloring just pops out and makes it so very special.
    Have a happy day hun!
