Magnolia Down Under Challenge #108 {A Sketch} - Winner and Top 5

I must admit I love a good sketch and I think Kathrin came up with a beauty for everyone to play with last week. I know it's one I've kept on file to use in the future. And with a good sketch came a wonderful array of stunning entries. It was an extremely tough vote to narrow it down yet again but this week we'd like to congratulate our winner.......

Audhild {54}

I love the feminine look Audhild has achieved with this card - her soft blues, touches of lace and beautiful designer papers suit her delightfully coloured Tilda perfectly. If you want to see more of Audhild's beautiful work you can check out her blog HERE.

 Audhild can you please email Kylie at magnoliadownunder@gmail.com to claim your winner's badge and prize. 

And now onto this week's Top 5 (in numerical order) congratulations....
