Magnolia-Licious Challenge - Winter Fun with Doo Hickey Dies

Hope you are having a great week, today it is time for me to share a card on the Magnolia-Licious challenge blog.

Our second challenge of 2015 is "Winter Fun with Doo Hickey Dies" and is perfect in these cold days.
I decided to go with a stamp from the 2013 collection, Winter Wonderland, and I think Tilda looks like she is going to have a lot of "Winter Fun" throwing snowballs, duck!

Doo Hickey Dies (if you didn't know) are the ones made by Magnolia to go with their collections, and Diana has a great selection for you to choose from.

You have 2 weeks to enter this challenge and you could be our winner if you enter and follow our theme.
So choose a Magnolia, Wee, or Wild Rose Studio image and have fun creating a project or card to join the challenge!

One more thing, you will notice that I now my photos will have a full card watermark. A team I am on put this in place as people have been stealing peoples images, removing small watermarks and calling the cards their own, or printing and using images that they did not purchase. Now I am sure no one would want to steal a card of mine but for consistency and safety I am adding it to all posts from now on. It will take a few weeks for them to show them every day as I have some photos already done that I did before I got the watermark but it will soon be commonplace here. If anyone would like to know about these watermarks please email me from the sidebar and I'll send you the details.

Card Recipe:
Image - In the Snow Scarf Tilda
Medium - Copic Markers
Paper -
Doo Hickey Dies - Sprawling Ferns and Christmas Lace
Paper - Park Bench by Fancy Pants
Doily - Recollections
Flowers and Paper Straws - Michaels
Ribbon - Martha Stewart
Pearls - Inky Impressions
Chalk Ink - Prima Chalk Edgers

I know many of you don't like this cold Winter we've been having but I hope you liked my little bit of "Winter Fun"and will come along and play with us at Magnolia-Licious, we'd love to see you there!
