A Magnolia Christmas

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I hope this week goes better for me than last week!!Today's challenge over at Maria's Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog is hosted by the wonderfully talented Debbie. Her challenge for us today is to make a card decorating the inside and the outside. I love decorating the insides of my cards, I jsut don't always take the time to do it.

For my card today I used the Just Magnolia Sketch Challenge #13. I used this adorable Magnolia image and the ticket is also a Magnolia stamp. I used Basic Grey Wassail papers for my card, Prima flowers and pearls to decorate the inside and out. I used my nesties to cut out my Magnolia and the writing block on the inside of the card. I used chalk ink to distress my image and my little ticket which I stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa. I used pearls for my flower centers and on the pretty flower on the hat she is wearing. That's about it. I like the way she turned out. I hope you do too.

Sometimes, it's nice to have a sketch to use for our card so if you would like to have a sketch to play around with, visit the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog to see one. But remember, the sketch is not the challenge this week.
