Just Magnolia and CK Sketch Challenges

I'm barely making it in time for this week's Just Magnolia challenge, which is buttons. I am also combining it with Jenny's sketch challenge on the CK/PaperCrafts forum.

I chose one of the Magnolia stamps that I purchased recently - Tilda in Cherry Dress. At least I think that's what it's called. There is another one called Cherry Tilda where she's wearing little boots, but I think I got the names correct. I colored Tilda with Prismacolor pencils blended with mineral spirits and cut her out. I was going to sit her on the edge of the square, but this is kind of a big Tilda. She is much bigger than my other sitting Tilda stamps. Since I had to move her up a little bit, I added the ribbon and sat her on that. I also added the sentiment tag and three pearl hearts to the image area. The sentiment stamps is Hero Arts. The buttons required for the Just Magnolia challenge are in the centers of the flowers, which were created with my EK Success Retro Flower punches. All the cardstock for this card is from Bazzill and the DP is Kay and Co. I ran the green square behind Tilda through my Big Kick with the Fiskars Squares Texture Plate.
