Magnolia

 I am using yet another of the panel dies from Gemini, I used distress inks through the die to color through the die while the paper was still inside and then removed it and finished with more inking and markers to finish the coloring.  I thought it looked pretty against the dark wood in this paper. The tag is in the paper set also and I just added the stamped sentiment.


  • Gemini - Magnolia die set, colored w/inks and markers
  • ODBD - Vintage Ephemera paper and tag
  • Recollections - Button brad

The Our Daily Bread papers have a slick surface to them so there is a bit of shine when you look at a side view of it.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by,

Connie

Those magnolias really do look perfect the way you colored through the die, and I love them against the dark wood. I have some ODBD papers and they do have a nice satiny gloss. This is gorgeous, Connie!

Hi, Connie! You do such a great job mixing the panel die cuts with other elements, creating a collage of nature! This is especially lovely. That shine makes your card even prettier!
