Magnolia-licious BIG JULY BASH of a hop!

HELLOoooo ALL OF MY BLOGGIN' BUDDIES!!!
HAPPY MONDAY TO YOU!!!
WELCOME to the Magnolia-licious Highlites July Blog Hop!!
If you have hopped here from Maureen's blog then you are right on track.
If not you may want to jump over to the start.
If you click HERE it will take you to the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog. So you can start at the beginning. You will not want to miss any of the letters that you need to gather to win the fabulous prize!

THEMES for our hop this moth include:
BEACH, BARBECUES/PICNICS and/or FISHING!!

For my card I have chosen the very very cute #106 EDWIN WAITING FOR FISH. I have masked him with one of the Magnolia backgrounds minus the cloud. But I can't seem to find the name of this stamp right now when I need it! uuhhgggggg! I have added water and some extra grass. Now really quick this little cute can also be bought from Magnolia-licious in mini form also. The sentiment stamp is from my stash. I have coloured this little cutie with my copic markers and I have added stickles to the water to give it a bit of a sparkle. I have also added a few pussy-willows to the scene. Now the papers that I have used are Colour Core Cardstocks, Cloud9designs, Kaiser Craft, TCP Studio. Embellies I used include: a deep red twill tape, Heidi Grace fabric top brad, fish button, brads, cotton cording, cheese cloth. The butterfly has been punched with my MS punch and then I inked it and added stickles to make it sparkle. I have sewn the layers of my card and I have used my sanding disk to rough up the edges of the Core Cardstock for a bit of a rustic look. In one of the pictures below you will be able to see all of the lift this card has. I have uesd my foam and popped the layers.
