Hello!!! Happy Friday, friends! Hope you are all having a good week. Anything fun planned for the weekend? I've got kiddo's baseball, and a Gary Allan concert on Saturday. I'm really looking forward to it. Even though I have been in MAJOR Spring Cleaning mode, I took a little time out this week to get a few cards made. When I saw this week's color challenge, I just couldn't resist using a brand new stamp set coming out with the new catalog in June!
Honestly, Magnolia trees and their flowers have been a long time favorite of mine. I instantly fell in love with this suite and I think that so many of y'all will too!
For this card I embossed the flower images (one large, 2 of the smaller) in Gold Embossing Powder on Thick Whisper White card stock. I then I colored in the petals with Petal Pink and the Ivory Blends. I love the depth and saturation that our Blends add to an image. I colored in the leaves with my Crumb Cake Blends, then cut out all of the images using the coordinating Dies - made it really easy!
The background is water-colored with Pool Party reinker on Water Color Paper, with the sentiment also embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. For a subtle embellishment, I added some of the Petal Pink Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
Don't forget that you can decorate the insides of your cards too!!! For this card, I stamped the flower image with Versamark ink in the corners...
I really can't wait to share this gorgeous suite with y'all - expect to see LOTS of it! LOL
