Magnolia Down Under Challenge #167{Favourite Colours} - Winner and Top 5

Before I announce our winner I have to say how sorry we all were to hear that the TOMIC and Just Magnolia challenges are closing. We are all lovers of all things Magnolia and it has been a pleasure working alongside these 2 teams to bring you guys plenty of fun challenges and seeing the results when you guys managed to combine them. We also want to reassure you that we here at MDUC aren't going anywhere and will keep bringing you challenges to play along with.

Now onto business - each and every week the DT gals tell me how hard it was to narrow down the vote and this week was no exception - but we do have a winner and this week we'd like to congratulate.....

And the inside....

Silvie {62}

What a truly gorgeous card Silvie has created using one of her personal favourite colour combos {pink, mauve/purple, cream/white}. There are just so many gorgeous details to look at and that's before you open it up and see there's more on the inside, and yes on the back too! Silvie's ability to use so many elements so beautifully is a signature of her work. If you want to see more of her amazing creations check out her blog HERE.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge {Sketch} - Guest DT Announcement, Winner and Top 5

Sad to say once again you guys have NOT made life easy for us with trying to pick a winner. So many beautiful entries - although there were a couple that we had trouble seeing any hint of the sketch in. You can interpret a sketch many ways but it should still be visible in your finished creation. But we have taken a vote and although the votes were spread far and wide across many of the entries we do have a winner. This week we'd like to congratulate......

Jenny Hodges {13}

Jenny has created a beautiful Christmas card with fabulous gold touches and neutral tones. Her colouring of Santa is stunning and the whole layout has a wonderful vintage feel to it. If you want to see more of Jenny's gorgeous work you can check out her blog HERE.
