Magnolia Anniversary
I created today’s card for my daughter and son-in-law who recently celebrated their wedding anniversary. I began by attaching a piece of the Season of Green & Gold 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper to scored and folded Fresh Freesia card. I cut a piece of Basic White card using the scalloped border edge from the Around the Bend Dies and attached it to the card front. I stamped the large magnolia image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set onto Basic White card using Versamark ink. I sprinkled with White Embossing Powder from the Metallics Wow Embossing Powder and used my Heat Tool to set the image. I used sponge daubers to add Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight ink to the image.
I cut out the image using the co-ordinating Magnolia Mood Die and attached it to the card front using dimensionals. I stamped the greeting from the Layers of Beauty stamp set onto Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink. I cut out the image using one of the Greetings of the Season Dies and attached it to the card front. I will let you in on a little secret. I stamped the greeting straight onto the card front after I had assembled everything else and smudged the ink. So as we all know there are no mistakes, just an opportunity to add embellishments, so the die cut greeting covers my mistake and I think it works well, don’t you?
To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the large flower from the Magnolia Mood stamp set onto the lower left hand corner of Basic White card using Versamark ink. I coloured the image using sponge daubers and Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green & Daffodil Delight ink. I stamped “congratulations” from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set using Fresh Freesia ink. Such a pretty card, and such a fun way to colour the image. Do you like this technique? Do you use it?
Bye for now,
Kris
