Magnolia down Under :: Bling it on!

The challenge this week at Magnolia Downunder is:

BLING IT ON!

Now I used quite a bit of bling....
1. rhinestone on the heart at the top of the Eiffel Tower..
2. lots of KindyGlitz...and
3. some silver brad in the middle of the flowers! :) I love sparkles and bling. lol!
4. Oh and Don't forget the DCWV Glitter stack :)

I used 2 Magnolia stamps... the Eiffel Tower + Tilda in Paris which is actually owned by my sister Nic (who funnily enough is in Paris now!)




I had a few troubles getting a good photo due to the sparkles!! But you get the idea...
here is a close up of Tilda for you...



Thanks for looking.

not a card this time!

This is the painting I finished off on the weekend for my sister! It's one of those works that definitely looks better from a distance!

I "fell in love with" the Eiffel Tower when we were in Paris last year and I have always loved Carousels... so this scene with the Gypsies just 'had' to be captured!
