Tilda's Rosette and Thank You!!

First of all i would like to thank my lovely followers who left me lovely get well wishes. 
Thank You So Much!!
As you may or not know i was in A&E on Saturday after having a fall and tearing some ligaments in my right knee. I'm getting around on the crutches ok but it's putting a lot of strain on my left leg.
I've got to go to the A&E review clinic tomorrow morning so i'll let you know how i get on!!

For my GDT card for The Dutch Magnolia Chickies Challenge click HERE!

Today i have created a rosette using Crafters Companion's Centura Pearl paper punched with my MS Eyelet Lace edge punch. I cut a Spellbinders fancy circle die and added a Magnolia Dragonfly and some Doily Flower die cuts, also a Marianne D's Ivy circle and small flower dies.
I stamped 3 mini Tildas and coloured with Distress Markers and added some glitter.
At the top i used a Magnolia 'So Lovely Swirl' tag die cut and then i finished it all off with lots of pearls, some gems, a bow and some twine. Hope you like it!!
