Hello stamping friends!!
I'm so excited because today is the first challenge for our new Magnolia Challenge blog!! I have been wanting to do this for awhile, but the Holidays and our trip to ecuador took presidence and I wasn't able to pull it together until a few weeks ago. And then it was a whirl wind to try to get everything done. Plus, I'm fighting a cold all week so haven't been feeling too great.
But it is time...
The challenges will have a double theme: 1. a Season & 2. regular challenge. The challenges will run every two weeks.
Stamp and Create with Magnolia Challenge #1: Winter Blues
Let's see a Wintery Magnolia with some blue on your card or project.
One random participant will win 1 Free Magnolia Stamps of your choice from Stamp and Create.
And here is my card...
This is Edwin with Snowflakes (currently 25% off). The papers are Blissful Blizzard from Fancy Pants along with Spruce, Cozy Big Snowflake and Scalloped Stitch Lace DooHickeys, Snowflake Charm 2, and Snow Pearls.
The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os..
Now it's your turn! The challenge runs through 7pm EST on Thursday, January 31st.
This card is also for the following challenges:
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge: Rudolph is resting
Christmas Cards All Year Long: Anything Christmas
Christmas at Sweet Stampin' Challenge: Cold & Frosty
4 Crafty Chicks: Pearls, Pearls, Pearls
Dutch Dare Card Challenge: Buttons
Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!
