Magnolia Down Under Challenge #144 Bon Voyage

Good morning Magnolia Fans!

It is time for another fantastic Magnolia Down Under Challenge. 

This week, we don't have a sponsor as we are going to ask the winner of this week's challenge to be our Guest DT member for May. 

If you would like to be our Guest, just at GDT after your name on the linky. And the guest/winner will  be chosen at random - exciting? It is for us. We can't wait to see who our GDT for May will be.

Our challenge this week is...
Bon Voyage
Use a stamp from the BonVoyage collection
(If you don't have any stamps from this collection, we don't want to exclude anyone here at MDUC, so you may use a stamp from another collection, so long as it is obviously themed for travel or farewell)

Lets now take a look at what our amazing DT have created to share with you:

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #142 {Flags and Banners} - Winner and Top 5

I have decided that the addition of a few little flags across a card can add so much to the final look - I think I'll be popping some on some cards in the near future! We had some simply GORGEOUS entries yet again and some amazingly inventive ideas too. Unfortunately we can only have one winner and this week we'd like to congratulate.........

Marika {18}

WOW look at this AMAZING project - the perfect ship for any gal! The flags look fabulous with the sentiments on and the DP and lace sail adds just the right touch. I love the way the flourish looks like a spray of water too - very clever.If you want to see more of Marika's gorgeous work you can check out her blog HERE.
