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.

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

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.
ReplyDeleteHoe gorgeous! I just love that magnolia die so I'm off to Memory Box to check it out. Thanks for sharing your lovely card with us at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge. We hope you'll share again soon.

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
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Connie. And I love how this one looks especially dimensional. Blessings on your weekend ahead. xo
ReplyDeleteYes - what a lovely die! You have made a beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteWowza 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.
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful! I love the die and your sentiment looks great.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful die. I love your paper behind it, and the vertical sentiment. It turned out perfectly. You did an amazing job with it, Connie!
ReplyDeleteOh my, this is so beautiful your magnolia is just divine and looks perfect against that gorgeous background.

Beautiful design--I love the sentiment over there like that! That magnolia is stunning and you have added just the right touch of color too! This is FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteLovely card. Your magnolia is stunning. You made it come alive by adding colour onto your leaves.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love Magnolias. The pretty green DP goes really well with the magnolia.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Connie xoxo

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!!
