Watercoloured Magnolia

Hello Everyone,

Allow me to introduce the Magnolia Lane Suite. This is an astoundingly beautiful stamp set with coordinating dies. The Designer Series Paper is equally stunning.

Other products in the suite include a ribbon combo pack and cute embellishments.

Product List

Today’s project is focused on the huge Magnolia image. This was stamped with Stazon Ink using the Stamparatus to guarantee a clear image.

The image was coloured with watercolour pencils and blender pens, then die cut.

Dimensionals were used to adhere the coloured Magnolia to a card base which was covered with Designer Series Paper.

Finally, a small strip of paper was used to mount the sentiment which was stamped on to some white card stock.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Today I wanted to use my Stampin’ Blends for some relaxing colour therapy.

I picked this Bloom from the Botanical Bliss stamp set to work with.

Three flowers were stamped on to some Whisper White card stock with Memento Ink. Two others were added directly to a 3 by 4-3/4 inch card layer.

Each was coloured with Stampin’ Blends Markers. Three of the images were fussy cut to add to the card later.

The sentiment was added next with Rich Razzleberry ink.

The Blooms were adhered with dimensionals and die cut sprigs were added in between for some texture.

The panel was finally adhered to Rich Razzleberry card base layered with Whisper White card stock with dimensionals.
