Magnolia DT, Papertake and Tilda and Friends Challenges
Well I don't post anything for nearly a week and then just like the buses 3 come along at once!!!

The first 2 cards are for this weeks Papertake challenge, I had already made the Tilda and Horse card when my Magnolia DT kit with the new Lazy Summer Days stamps arrived so I decided to make another card using Dawns fab sketch. The new stamps are so cute and I love Tilda's new hairdo - I have just had a change to mine as well, short and dark red!!
The new stamps can be pre ordered from Sir Stampalot.
This weeks theme at Tilda and Friends is to use only black, white and grey on your ATC. I have used the Magnolia sheep stamp and some MME papers.Supplies
