Extra! Extra! More Cuddly Buddly Fun!

You may have read earlier that today is the start of the Cuddly Buddly challenges!
Well one new team member has had a lot going on and couldn't get her card in on time so I got to play along twice this week! Scratch that, it was a mix up but I still got to make a second card :) Remember if you want to play that the theme is "A Brand New...." and that you need a Cuddly Buddly digital product to enter but there tons of FREEBIES to choose from so you have no excuse not to play along!

The reason this card is in a separate post is that it is going into challenges and I can't enter two cards into the same challenge with the same URL so this one is a stand alone!
I got to work with the fabulous artwork of Pachela Studios and chose Toby Tumbles friend Tabitha with her little butterfly friend.

Challenges:
Paper Crafting Journey - Anything Goes
The Paper Shelter - Anything Goes
Stamp Something - Something Digi
Stamp N Doodle - Animals/Nature
Truly Scrumptious - Things With Wings
Flutterby - Open (with a Fairy, Angel or Butterfly)
Lexi's - A Bug's Life
Hooked On Crafts - Flowers
Digital Tuesday - Flowers
KB Cute Monday - Flowers
Deep Ocean - Flowers
Ooh La La - Summer Flowers
Scrapbook Sisters - Summer Fun
My Time To Craft - Here Comes Summer
My Mum's Craft Shop - Something Old, Something New (die cut and flowers are old, the image, papers and team are new!)
Stamp With Sarah Kay - More than 3 layers
Creative Inspirations - Stitching
4 Crafty Chicks - Stitching

Card Recipe:
Image - Special Friends
Papers - Toby Tumbles Hearts and Flowers
Sentiment - Bits Of Ivory Garden Sentiments
Medium - Copic Markers
Glitter - Martha Stewart Glitter Markers Cool Spectrum
Border Die - Nellie Snellen Decorative Borders 3
Die Cut - Spellbinders Labels 1
Trim - Offray
Flower - Stash
Rhinestones - Michaels $1 spot
Fabric Brad - Dear Lizzy

Tabitha is such a cutie and the way the images are drawn make it easy for even a beginner colorist to get a great result. I added a few glittery bits with my Martha Stewart glitter pens, I do have and use the Atyou Spica Copic's but the Martha one's have a bolder glitter and sometimes bolder is better! LOL
Anyway I hope you've enjoyed both of my Cuddly Buddly cards today, be sure to click on my main blog banner to be taken to the home page so you don't miss anything and also run on over to Cuddly Buddly and join in the fun of the first challenge!

I don't use a lot of orange usually but when I do it always makes me happy.
I've been using the Lime Twist paper pads by My Minds Eye a lot recently, I just love the scale of the patterns and how well they work on my cards. I wish more paper companies would do the 6" by 6" pad as I have an addiction to them, I bought a dozen of them at The Great American Scrapbook Convention last week and am still itching for more ;)
I hope you like today's Summery Magnolia creation and will link up yours so I can come and see it.
And please mention it in your post if you can so we can grow and keep sharing the Maggie Love!
