Magnolia Down Under Challenges - So Krafty

Good morning everyone hopefully you are all enjoying your weekend and if you are a mother HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! I am typing this post in advance but I know that I will be spoilt with love from my kids and cant wait to see their handmade gifts for me. I think about now I will be sitting in bed having cuddles and a cup of coffee...

So the challenge at Magnolia Down Under this week is So Krafty. Yep we want to see some Kraft cardstock on your card, how easy is that.

I LOVE Kraft (one of my normal go to colours) so I found this challenge not so difficult. I did however challenge myself to use the Jack & Jill papers. I am rapt with how this card has come out using Kylie's sketch she had on her blog last week. I don't think i have ever made a card with such soft colours before. I did however go slightly overboard with my colouring and think that the colours are perhaps a tad dark for the rest of the card but oh well.... I suppose I should stop rabbiting on and actually show you my card so you know what the heck I am talking about, LOL!!



This card is for my mummy for mothers day. My mum is the best (I know we all say that about our mums) but it is true. My kids adore her and love nothing better when Nannie picks them up from school on a friday. She is always there to help us when we need it (within reason of course!) and is very thoughtful of us all. Love you mummy, Happy Mothers Day xoxo

Sorry for the mushy bit there, lol! I have added heat stick powder and dazzling diamonds to the edges of my patterned paper and some kinder glitz to the flowers. Here is a pic that shows it a bit better.


I would also like to enter this into the following challenges:

Papertake Weekly - Anything goes
Dream Valley Challenges - Flowers
Top Tip Tuesday - Open Challenge
Crafty Catz - quote/sentiment
The Shabby Tearoom - Photo inspiration - I took the blue and softness

So anyway there you have it, my card for this weeks challenge. Now be sure to pop over to MDUC and check out all the amazing talent and if time permits join in with our challenge this week.

    Well Bron, I think it's absolutely beautiful!
    Love the soft colours on the patterned papers and then the tad bit darker in your fantastic colouring - think they complement eachother in a great way :) cool effect with the embossed diamonds :)

    Your mum will LOVE this card!

    ps - OMG you tricked me!! I had to blow up your picture to see if that was faux stitching. I though it was real!! Great job!!
