Christmas All Year Long at Magnolia-licious ..... Sepia style:)

Good Morning everyone !! Today were going to brighten up your Monday with this out of the ordinary hop LOL! This has to be for us ladies that couldn't get our Christmas cards finished on time or even if you want an early head start for the coming year. I think it's a fabulous idea. Every 25Th we will have a blog hop to present our Christmas cards. I hope you have enjoyed it so far. Your almost towards the end.If your coming from Peggie's then your in the right order:) Today i decided to do something out of my comfort zone LOL! One it's a side step card LOL! I never done them before but geez it was a challenge at first. When it was all scored it was easy peacy LOL!! Second i TRIED doing it monochrome style and i think it ended up looking like sepia HAHAHA!! Well after the first colored image i said i like it so i kept doing it. I colored them with my letrasets. It did end up with a distressed effect which i did like so I'm happy. I just need to practice more though on blending. I got a good tip from a lady named Debbie( The Crafty Cuttings of Wiccababe ) she designs for Passion for promarkers. So thanks to her i was brave enough to give it a try. I gave the girls a pinch of rose on their cheeks. Sideways Maggie , I'm not sure if she's a dalecarlia girl or not to be honest with you. I know the other one is Dalecarlia coat Maggie. I was so tempted to keep on giving them more pink lol! I HAD TO HOLD MYSELF BACK LOL! I didn't see these images at Diana's store right now but if your interested email her she should be able to help you. I did see winter night background there now though. Diana is constantly stocking up so I'm sure you will be able to find them soon. Oh another thing in honor of our Christmas hop, Diana would be putting a Christmas stamp on sale on the first of each month. If I'm not mistaken she has Holly letter and i believe Santa's helper on sale now. Even after her great prices so don't walk RUN by over there.

OK ENOUGH of my blah blah. This is my card i came up with , please be gentle on me and tell me what you think??(closing my eyes)
