AUGUST CHALLENGE - MAGNOLIA'S ONLY!!!!

Good Morning All!!
Hope you are all well.
Sorry I'm late in posting this month's challenge - i've had a very busy few days!
Anyway ..... this month's challenge I'm very excited about - as you probably know we are now stocking Magnolia stamps - so, as the title says, this month's challenge is -

MAGNOLIA'S ONLY plus sketch

Sally is our Guest "Sketcher" this month and she has given us a great sketch to work with - I also need you to use Magnolia stamps only as your main image.

As usual you can interpret the sketch however you choose, you can resize and rotate but you must stick to the original sketch.

Our prize this month is a Magnolia stamp of your choice
(subject to stock availability)
