Magnolia

 I love Magnolia's so when I saw this die I just had to pick it up. It was pretty easy to layer together. I used my inks and a blending brush to add the color to the flower and leaves. I needed to stamp the sentiment twice and when I did the second stamping the card had moved a bit and so I ended up having to stamp again on a white strip to cover my mistake but I think it looks ok.


  • Memory Box - Magnolia Blooming bud die
  • Graphic 45 - Botanical tea paper
  • Hot Off the press - 31 white jewel border stickers
  • Stamps of Life - Standup4sentiments stamp

I would like to share my card with the following challenges:

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

I like those too (Magnolias) Our neighbor had one in our yard, and most of the petals would end up in our yard...all over our car, etd. Hubby didn't like the mess that it left. But I only saw the beauty.

You've done a beautiful job with that lush magnolia and leaves, Connie, and well done on the sediment save! I really like the colored text background! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

Wowza I love this memory box die cut and your amazing coloring of it. I was at a craft fair 2 weeks ago and saw this die cut and did not pick it up. Oh now I wish I had.

This is such a pretty card Connie! I love that magnolia die and think I need to have one. We have a magnolia tree outside our bedroom window and I enjoy the early blossoms each year.

it's so pretty connie, i adore magnolia's as well. i really like the layout you used on this card, it has a really nice balance. the tulip magnolias are just starting to bloom now along with the cherry blossoms. i think the tulip magnolias are prettier!!
