Magnolia Down Under Challenge #199 {Bling it Baby} - Winner and Top 5

This week our challenge was to "Bling it Baby" and there was some discussion within the group as to what actually constitutes "bling". Since we had a few different ideas we thought we should include pearls, gems, charms, glitter and rhinestones - and anything else that could possibly be thought of as bling - LOL. It's one of those challenges that is open to interpretation. With that decided we cast our votes and this week we'd like to congratulate our winner.......

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #198 {Make Your Own Flowers} - Winner and Top 5

This week at MDUC we asked you to make your own flowers. This has become a much easier task over the past few years with the number of beautiful dies and tutorials available and we were glad to see so many trying their hand at it. Handmade flowers are also a great way to make cheap, matching embellishments for your creations and mix well with shop bought flowers too.

This week we'd like to congratulate our fabulous winner.....

Marika {30}

Monochromatic cards certainly have a WOW factor when done right and Marika has certainly done this one right! The tiny touches of blue, hand rolled flowers and different textures are a perfect compliment to the beautifully coloured B&W image. If you want to see more of Marika's gorgeous work you can check out her blog HERE.

Marika can you please contact us at magnoliadownunder@gmail.com to claim your winner's badge and prize.
