Magnolia sent me this Cute Box to Decorate.
I have included 2 photos...one being the top of the box.
The Cute Tilda stamp I used here is called, "HV08 Tilda with Heart Ornament" and she is from the recent "Holiday Collection 2oo8" The bench is SEA08 Old Bench and is from the "2008 Summer and Sea Collection" You can see all the new Fabulous Collections right here.
Images are colored with prismacolor pencils (oms) and h20's. Details are done with acrylic white paint. The edges of the box are painted with, "Folk art pearl paint"
The actual bench is larger than what I have here. I cut the bench in half and just overlapped it to make it smaller for Tilda.
Tilda is popped up on foamy's
The decorative circle behind Tilda is created with a Fiskars punch. The border around the rim is done with a Martha Stewart punch.
Thanks for looking!!

I have just had the most wonderful time browsing through your RICH gallery. You have an incredible eye for color and design and so many gorgeous layouts. What a sunny way to start my day. I see you are a Magnolia fan. This box is soooo sweet. Love the colors, and your embellishments are so artfully woven through your design. I see by browsing that you are very masterful with your sewing machine too.

Ila, your colouring is just so rich and gorgeous! The way you combine both prima's / gamsol and twinkling H20's is simply amazing! Such a lovely Tilda - and I LOVE all of the beautiful embellishments you have surrounded her with! Gorgeous ILA!!

I just purchased some Magnolia stamps and did a search for them here and your cards just "popped" out!! Your 'coloring' skills are just amazing!! I have been going through your gallery too and am just asking myself "how did she do that?" Would love a tutorial on your coloring techniques! Thanks for sharing!

This is just adorable. I have a question. How do you color her cheeks? I can't seem to get mine to look natural. I love the box. It is so wonderful. Your coloring is fabulous. Very nice job. TFS
