Magnolia Down Under Challenge #42 {Masking} - Winner and Top 5

WOW - it seems like everyone enjoyed the challenge and had a LOT of fun mixing and matching images. It was WONDERFUL to see all the magnificent scenes everyone created with our masking challenge. It's such a fun technique to master. We were also rapt to see how many people gave this technique a go for the first time - we are so glad you did. As always you guys have made it hard for us to pick out a winner - but we've scoured the entries and feel THIS card deserves to wear our Winner's Badge with pride!

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #40

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE

Good Morning,

Have you all had some chocolate for breakfast this morning like most poeple do on Easter Morning? The girl were so excited.

So before I start with the challenge today, I have some news. Because my store has changed from Magnolia Down Under to tickled Pink Stamps it does not affect this challenge blog at all. I started this way before my store ;)

We have some sad news this morning, Kristy has decided to step down from her DT position with us :( When your hearts not in it anymore it's just not there and making cards for the challenge was feeling more like a job she didn't want to do. I can't thank Kristy enough for all the help she gave me being one of the very first originals and my best friend. We met through the stamping world and I think we owe a thank you to Magnolia as well. We all want to wish her all the best with her challenge blg Anya Ink I know that she will make it extremely successful as she's an amazing crafter and a gorgeous person. BIG HUGS Princess xx

We have some more news Down Under here..... We would like to make a HUGE welcome to some amazing card makers and I know that while they are with us their cards will always be amazing and always inspirational..... Welcome
