Ok, down to business (putting on serious face :P ) the first challenge of the new year for all you magnolia addicts out there is VALENTINES DAY. As you may have noticed I do not have any valentines stamps, so I improvised (this stamp with another use theme is really getting a work out with me) I thought my 60's Tilda with her yummy little lollipop would go great with my sweet love sentiment and, Ta-Da! I was going to keep it a bit simple so it could be used for a guy as well, but then I figured I'm a bit of a girly card maker so I whacked on some flowers and a truck load of glitter and... you guessed it, it's an easel card (I can't stop making them)
Here is a front shot, not the greatest pic, sorry. For some reason this card did not photograph well and was even harder to fix on the computer, I guess all the pinks and reds were a bit too much to handle.
The main x&o DP is my minds eye, all other papers are from my stash. The tickets are from Bizzy Becs Digi Store and the flowers are all from Bizzy Becs, except the large one, I think that's a spotlight find. The little heart brads are also from the stash, and all glittered up. I have also glittered all the white areas on Tilda's dress, the centers of the daisies and the edges of the roses. I even brought out my MS border punch to play again.
Make sure you head on over to Magnolia Down Under challenges to check out the fabulous work of the design team ladies, and this challenge is generously sponsored by the Magnolia Down Under Store, so make sure you get a creation in for a chance to win a fabby yummy in the tummy paper pack!

Fran, your first card for the MDUC is wonderful. The 60's Tilda is so versitile that when colored up for Valentines Day she fits perfect. Coloring and colors are beautiful. Welcome to the DT, enjoy and have fun.
