Magnolia Down Under :: Sepia

The challenge this week on Magnolia Down Under is "SEPIA"

Here is my card for my second week as one of their guest design team:



I used watercolours to do a little wash over the Edwin image and then some extra brown watercolour to add more colour in .. I tried to make it look like an older style Sepia photograph (hence the photocorners).

Pop on over to Magnolia Down Under - look at the wonderful Design team creations and join in the fun :)

We are off to the lovely city of Adelaide early tomorrow so will not be blogging or crafting for a week or so! will catch up with you all when we get back :)
