Hello again Magnolia lovers, we have a fabulous challenge for you this week at
Magnolia Down Under, one for the boys!! Now I usually find boys cards really, really difficult, I guess it is because there is nowhere to put all the ribbon and flowers and glitter,
lol! but I had this image, stamped up for my by the
fabulous Kylie
Blonde and when I was at Debs place a couple of months ago and raiding her stamps I came across this tree and
knew that they would work together really well, and when I was sitting thinking of what to do for this challenge a little light went '
bing' in my brain and I knew it was time to put these two
together on a card :)

You cannot really see in the photo but I have used chalks to create a cloud background behind the tree, and my
copics to create the grass (i had a ball doing this one night while watching TV, it's probably my favourite part of the card,
hehehe).
The brown paper under
the image is Magnolia, from the last
xmas collection, and i have sanded and distressed the edges. The green spotty paper (in my favourite shade of green, it's so gorgeous) October Afternoon, fly a kite, from
Delicious Papercrafting. The base is
kraft, yep, I have to use it on everything now! I have created a tag out of acetate and stamped my happy birthday sentiment on there, and sponged the edges for depth then I
popped an eyelet in the top and some string. The mesh ribbon is from
Tickled Pink Stamps, who will be listing the new
bon voyage travel collection Magnolia stamps for
pre order on the 15
th!!
