 Hello! Thanks for stopping by for Magnolia-licious BIG Easter/Spring Blog Hop! The DT's are doing one fantastic job at inspiring you ladies, sprucing up wonderful ideas for the spring. If you just came from Candy's blog, you are on the right track. For this hop I used "Honey Tilda" stamp, available at Magnolia-licious's store now. They have the biggest selection of Maggies in north America and now in mini sizes too!! I colored Tilda with Copics and Prismacolor pencils. The back is done with chalk. Her wings is done with Stickles. As for the daisy, I drew that one in.
