This is a reload of my challenge as the first one was deleted due to the file name causing it to be a duplicate - you learn as you go!!! So here it is again. If you commented the first time, please add that comment again...I am so disappointed to lose the ones that were already on it - it is such a thrill to see them there!!!
This card was a challenge, you wouldn't think so with this paper (thanks Hannah aka bubblefrog) would you...but in my head I could hear my Mother telling me that 'pink and orange do not go together!!' It was very hard for me to tune her out - you would think as a parent it is a skill you learn to excel in...I'm not as bad as I sound!!!
I am not sure if I am happy with this card, but the more black I added, the better it was looking. I cut the Magnolia out (thanks to Melinda aka Melinda80 for the image) and layered her on textured paper with 3D foam tape, adding leaves from a punch to give the effect of her throwing them up into the air, also added a couple of cut leave images to her basket. The pink....well her shoes are definitely pink and I am quite liking them (sorry Mum!) What do you think?
This card is definately a case of 'You gotta have friends!' Thanks girls for the paper and the image AND thank you for looking - again for some of you!!!

Wonderful card, love the image and all the great details. I have that background leaf paper, but couldn't figure out how to use it. I works into your theme perfectly!
