A new challenge for Magnolia Down Under Challenge!
It is our Challenge #26 and the challenge is the following sketch from Shell Barnard: And this is sponsored by Kellie herself. She is offering a $10 Gift Voucher to spend in her very own newly-opened Magnolia Only store. That's Aussie dollars, guys--go for it!!! And you have 2 weeks to create something.
The sketch wasn't really meant for it, hee hee, but I used it to make a joy fold card--artistic licence!! I had the hardest time trying to finish this card. I kept fiddling with it even after I thought I was finished. It just wasn't looking right... But I think I'm done playing with it now.
I also made this card for Stamp With Fun. Their Challenge #31 is to make a card with a scene. I have created two scenes here. The stamps for the background sceneries, Alota Side Wall with Window and the Magnolia Brick Wall, I purchased from Diana's store Magnolia-licious.
For Week 7 at Basic Grey Challenges, it is a photo-inspiration challenge. The picture is over to the right, here.It was so obvious to me what Basic Grey DP I was going to use. Any guesses, LOL?
It's a "Bring out your bling" challenge at All Sorts Challenge--they want to see lots of sparkles. I didn't use any rhinestone, but I have lots of sparkles on the card. The ribbon on the front of the card is a sparkly red and gold ribbon. I've put glitters on the angel wings of both Tilda and Edwin. And also on the the white-fur trims of all the hats for Tilda, the critter and the pooch. Hmm... not sure if you can see that in the pictures. You might have to blow the pictures up to really see.
The final challenge is from Roses on Paper. Their Challenge # 24 is for a Christmas card.
I've put a blank space on the left panel for personal messages to be written on.
