WOOHOO 1st Design Team..... Design!!

I'm so excited!!  This is my very first card as a Design Team Member for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge!!

So the Challenge this week is Paper Tole and boy oh boy was this a bit fiddly!! It took me all afternoon just to make my pretty Tilda after thinking, thinking thinking, what will I use?  So I had my Tilda just absolutely perfect and then Disaster struck - I did something to "finish" it off and it wrecked it, so then I tried to "fix" it and well, it was then totally stuffed!!  ooooooooo fiddle sticks or something like that came from my mouth...... but then I made another and then after another little minor stuff up I got her done and she was perfect .... again!! Sometimes you should just leave things alone!!  LOL 

So you should really give it a go its so much fun and I loved it even with the minor hiccups!!  So if you have a fantastic Magnolia Stamp then enter the challenge - it doesn't have to be a Tilda or Edwin, just as long as you have some type of Magnolia Stamp on your card - then your in!!  So what are you waiting for??? 




This pic is just so you can see the different layers of my Tilda!!  There are 3 in total

Embellishments: Spotlight Charm, Flower Ribbon, Kaiser Pearls. Flowers, Leaves, Lace, Paper Doily from Tickled Pink Stamps. Stampin' Up Dazzling Diamonds, Kaiser Bling, White Gel Pen

  2. Karen you've done an amazing job. Gorgeous card. Glad you told us of your hiccups as it makes it even more special ;) My 3D card didn't go that well either and that's why it's called a 'challenge'. Welcome aboard.
