Magnolia Down Under Guest Design Spot & some more Magnolia Candy

Hello Magnolia fans!

A few months ago, the lovely Kellie asked me if I'd like to guest design for Magnolia Down Under for the month of May - so here I am.

This week they have a fabulous Sponsor - Tracey from Spesch Designer Stamps. Tracey is offering either three of the gorgeous Digital Stamps or a Clear Polymer Stamp of Bonnie. Check out the Spesch Blog to find out more about the stamps.

This is the sketch this week, designed by the fabulous Kellie.

I fretted about it at first as I was so stuck for what to do. Then I got my thinking cap on and came up with this:

I've used K&Co papers from Ancestry, gems, ribbon, charm and sentiment from stash
The fabulous leaf and the paper in the back ground which is text are from Mummylade (Helene). I won them in one of her Candy-Give-Aways, and I've only just got round to using them. The paper is ancient - well 1936 I think it said on the top. I almost didn't want to use it. It was so delicate and easily ripped.
I coloured Tilda with Distress Inks, mainly using Tattered Rose, Tea Dye, Antique Linen, Walnut Stain and a tiny bit of Black Soot
Thank you so much Kellie for allowing to guest design for you for the month of May.

This card is stunning Kimmi - i don't know how you managed to rip that paper though - i'd have been a nervous wreck with something that old!
