Magnolia Down Under Challenge #119 {Getting Punchy} - Winner and Top 5

It seems to me that dies and punches are a favourite tool of many of you - I know I rarely make a card without using at least one die or punch! The worst part about all of your amazing entries is how big my die wish list has grown - there are some amazing dies on the market these days! With 152 entries it was a REALLY tough vote and ended up being extremely close too - but we'd like to congratulate this week's winner.....

Deb {28}

Check out all the amazing details Deb has used - the die cut cage, pearls, the padlock and the butterfly pebble - they all work so beautifully together! And Deb's colouring is amazing too - Tilda looks fabulous dancing around on the polka dot background. If you want to see more of Deb's beautiful work you can check out her blog HERE.

Deb can you please email Kylie at kyliekueter@tpg.com.au to claim your winner's badge and prize.

And now onto this week's Top 5 - we'd like to congratulate these amazing entries and tell you it was sooo close between all of these entries and the winner -and there were several just outside the Top 5 too - awesome job everyone....
