Hey! I am back with my card for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge and this week we are having a very special Birthday Blog Hop Party to celebrate MDUC's 2nd Birthday! I really hope you can join us! You have all week to join the challenge as usual...so the challenge will end March 19th. You also have all week to hop from blog to blog! Please leave comments on each and every blog as you hop as some of the DT have candy on their blogs and you must comment on every blog to be eligible for the candy the DT is offering up on their blogs! We also have prizes for this week's challenge from our wonderful sponsors are.... All That Scraps, Michelle's Scrapbooking, Quixotic Paperie, Tickled Pink Stamps!!!!!

The challenge this week is TWOS....this means you can use, TWO images, TWO patterned papers, TWO flowers, TWO buttons or any of these items or any other items in groups or combos of TWO. Just think TWO!!!!! 

So if you have arrived from the very sweet and super Talented Tanja then you are in the right spot! If not then you may want to start at the beginning of the hop at the MDUC blog. Congrats if you have hopped all the way here....you are near the end of the hop now just hop back to the MDUC blog to finish of the hop!!!!

For my card I have used TWO sweet Tilda's from the You're So Special Collection...one is a Mini that came in my Magnolia kit and I love that it helps to create a little birthday celebration scene. I have coloured both Tildas with my Copics. I have also used TWO patterned papers, TWO colours of cardstock, TWO ribbons and I have grouped my Prima flowers and Pearls in groups of TWO!!!! I even used TWO Melissa Frances rub-ons for the sentiments.

Here is the inside of my card!!!! Pretty simple!
