Magnolia Down Under Challenge #45 {Paper Tole} - Winner and Top 5

As Kellie said at the start of the week this challenge had some of our own DT struggling - and it seems there's a lot of people who aren't really sure what Paper Tole is. Our apologies - we should have explained better. FYI - the definition of this technique is this - "Paper Tole is the art of constructing a 3-dimensional image from a 2-dimensional print or image".  The idea is you turn a single image into a multi layered image to give it a 3D effect. For example -  you wouldn't just pop Tilda up on dimensionals - you would also pop sections of her up to layer her - I hope that makes sense. The winner's photos below will show you what we mean better.

All that being said we had some beautiful cards entered - although not all of them had toling as part of the design and we did have to take that into consideration. We've checked the entries and feel THIS card deserves to wear our Winner's Badge with pride!

Congratulations.........

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #44

Good morning Magnolia and Stamping Fans,

Well here in Australia we are almost in the middle of Autumn and with this darn cold I am feeling it. Please don't forget that with this challenge you can mix with other stamps, if you only have a Magnolia sentiment your still in to play along with us. As long as you follow the challenge.

This week we have a sponsor YAY and we are very lucky to be having Tracey the owner and founder of the the new digital stamp company Spesch Stamps, taking the world by storm and recently having their first ever blog hop for a new release. Tracey now has many gorgeous stamps to chose from and a theme for every card. Bonnie would have to be my most favourite. Tracey is offering the winner a choice of either 3 digital stamps or an actual clear rubber stamp of Bonnie! YAY how amazing is that?! If you would like to check out what she has right now then jump on over to here....

This weeks challenge is a sketch made by ME.....I hope you enjoy using it and I always love seeing how everyone uses it so differently....


HOW TO JOIN IN...•You must have one Magnolia on your work, it can be a sentiment, background etc does NOT have to be Edwin nor Tilda for your card to be entered...
•You must add your link in Mr.Linky
•You MUST add a link to your direct blog post.... All entries not doing this will be removed.
•You should have a link back to the challenge blog in your post.
•DO NOT link your entry to an old card, even a day before will be removed. Making it fair to all the people that have made a card for the challenge and if a prize is up making it fair for all that follow the rules...

Here are what the amazing guests designer have come up with this week. Their work is amazing as always and sure to inspire!


EWELINA


KIMMI
And here is the amazing inspirations the Design Team have come up with. I am sure that you will all walk away with some inspiration from each and everyone of them. And be sure to show them some blogging love by stopping by their personal blogs.
