Hello happy Sunday to you all! I have just been having the laziest Sunday making some cards. My daughter Madi has been making some christmas cards for her school friends so the two of us have been hanging out in our tracky's in my craft room.
So anyway I loved using my magnolia stamp the other day and back in the old days...LOL like um 2008 heheh I along with Kellie and Debbie were the first 3 DT running Magnolia Down Under challenges and I thought how fun would it be to go play along with their current challenge! My new years resolution is to use all my stamps that have not seen ink hahah and use some oldies that I miss like my maggies. So anyway you probably want to see my card...I have entered it into 4 challenges which I will list below the pic.

I used my distress inks to colour her, isnt she just the sweetest image ever! I sooo was out of my comfort zone with these vintage colours...I see myself as more of a shabby chic pastel gal LOL.My brown in the pic looks black but I promise you its brown lol.
The Challenges I have entered is-
Magnolia Down Under - Red, Brown & cream
Just Magnolia - Christmas card
