I was cruising through the Magnolia US yahoo group the other day when I saw a post about why Magnolia's do not have a mouth. The poster had contacted the creators as to why. Their response was "angels don't speak with their mouths they speak with their hearts" I loved that response.
This was created for our Twisted Sister Challenge. Hosted by Shirley we were to create a card using Sketch Challenge 116, use sage shadow which I had not even a scrap, and use chocolate chip and ribbon. We were to pick a scripture. This one was used in our children's message at church last weekend. I have also seen it with a ODB set. Love it...
I flipped the sketch and turned it upside down..LOL.
Thanks Shirley for this challenge. Have a great weekend sistahs.

My goodness what a gawgus card! I have heard that Angels don't have faces, etc. I think Magnolias are the cutest images and you did this one proud. I have to confess, I didn't catch the part about the sketch challenge but I'll know better next time!

Dawn, you know Injust heard that about Magnolias yesterday and was going to comment on thay fact....makes sense really...I think their faces also have an 'innocence' about them too without the mouth - IRL they would open it and blow any theories LOL!!! Love this card and Tilda in the flower, your colours are stunning and that verse of such a truth - great card Dawn - thank you for sharin!!
