Cute Card Thursday

She'd like to see you use Fairies AND at least 2 punches

The fairy is obvious, I actually used 3 punches, two flowers and the loopy circle going around the image!

Today we have a new challenge for you and we have chosen Pastels

The colours that I have used are very muted compared to a lot of the cards that I have made lately!

Magnolia Down Under
FLOWER POWER
I know I have not put actual flowers on the card, but the images have lots of flowers in it!

Mojo Monday and Magnolia Down Under Challenge


DISTRESSING
Lots of distressing in this one, the edging on the background paper, the matted paper, the circle and the image were distressed and then inked.  I also stamped the background on the circle.
