Friday Sketchers #19
I have based this card on this weeks fabulous sketch at Friday Sketchers and I've used a couple of stamps from the new Magnolia Fall Stampclub kit.
I love the unmounted Magnolia stamps, they are so easy to store and I never put any EzMount on them, they stamp perfectly with just the rubber ( I just put them on a mounting block with Pritt stick and then wash it off afterwards) and it saves money to buy more goodies with!!


















Supplies
Stamps: Magnolia - Fall Stampclub, Bird, Toadstools
Tools: Pro Markers Cuttlebug, Sizzix Die, Flowers, Lace + Brads from Stash, Glossy Accents, Sakura Clear Stardust Pen
DP: Bazzill, Basic Grey

Help Finding Paper
I was wondering if anybody can tell me who makes the paper on my Magnolia DT card, Tilda with Pumpkin. I love this paper but unfortunately the piece I was sent didn't have the manufacturer on the back of it.
Many Thanks
