Birthday Card/First use of Magnolia Stamp

I can now add the card to my blog that I made for my friend Michele's birthday. It was the first time I had used a Magnolia stamp and I was quite pleased with the result. The papers were from a card kit from Sarah's Cards, and the sentiment stamp was a Stampin' Up stamp and also punch that I had recently purchased. Looking back at the card tho' I wish that I had used a bigger circular scallop as you can only just see the pale blue behind the little girl. Oh well I'll know for next time. Practice makes perfect lol
