Magnolia Down Under Challenge #102

Good morning Magnolia Fans!

Welcome back to another exciting week at Magnolia Down Under Challenges. This week we have another fabulous challenge and sponsor for you but before we get to that, we would like to welcome our newest DT member, Lori!  Lori has been a regular winner here at MDUC lately, not to mention countless Top 5 positions so we (finally) asked her to join our DT and we are so pleased that she said Yes! Lori, we are so pleased to have you in our family!

We would also like to introduce you to our new sponsor.... Stempel Phantasien.  Stempel Phantasien is owned by our very own Kathrin!  Thank you so much Kathrin for sponsoring us this week, here is a little bit about Stempel Phantasien:

"Stempel-Phantasien is a small shop located in Germany. We started it in 2008 and those cute Magnolia stamps were among the first products we offered. We have added other brands since then. We also produce personalized clear stamps for every crafter or cook to sign your work and recently added a big selection of german seal stamps. If you are interested in any of these - all text and fonts can be changed to what you like. And if you have your own design you want to be turned into a stamp we´re happy to make it for you! Even if there is only Germany listed as shipping destination we´re happy to ship worldwide. Just send us a mail"

The prize from Stempel Phantasien this week is this amazing Magnolia pack comprising of 6 sheets of mini papers and two Mini World stamps - Vintage Couch and Ribbon Hair Tilda. What a gorgeous prize for a lucky winner!

And now on to the details of our challenge this week!  This week is a nice easy one....we would like to see:

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #99 {Colour Challenge} - Winner and Top 5

I must admit I personally found this week's colours a real challenge to use - and then I saw what my fellow DT'ers had come up with and I was amazed at how gorgeous they looked together. Then the entries started coming in and I think I have fallen in love with this combo now - but it may take a little more than that for me to try it again though LOL. What an array of gorgeous work everyone came up with - I wasn't the only member of the MDUC DT to be inspired by the work you guys did.

Once again we've had a really tight vote and there are several entries that came close to winning or being in our Top 5. This week we'd like to congratulate our winner with this amazing entry.....

Trisha {24}

Isn't this just breathtaking. The colours work soo beautifully together with lots of gorgeous details to check out. If you want to check out more of Trisha's gorgeous work you can check out her blog HERE.
