Just Magnolia Monthly Challenge



well this is a first for me as ive never tryed to alter anything as have always played safe and just made cards lol
So i thought that i would give Just Magnolias monthly challenge a go,decided that i would keep it simple,ive made a pen holder for my whispers and marvey pens.
Ive used my minds eye paper,tilda image is coloured with my distress inks and ive punched some flowers out and added brads and gems in the centres,dragonfly brads,gems,pearls and lace are all from my stash,hope you like what ive done as im actually pleased with what ive done and will have to try it again

thanks for looking and make sure and check out what the DT members came up with as they are all fantastic, and such a talented bunch

love n hugs
