Okay onto today's card...Midweek Magnolias challenge this week is to use our favourite Magnolia Stamp...bet you can't guess what mine is lol, I think the world and his wife know what mine is...

Yes it's Tilda with her little wooden spoon, this was my very first Magnolia stamp and has always been my favourite.

Here she is dressed in pink aahh!

The papers are Pion design layered up with doilies, hessian & lace, Tilda is painted with distress inks. I've used those little rolling pins with pink check ribbon and made a cross stitched napkin to which I've added knife & fork brads.

The stamped rolling pin is a Magnolia one with 'Cherish the moments' sentiment by Whimsy.
