Hello and welcome to the Picket Fence Studios´blog! It´s Silvana here and today I want to share with you a very special card to me.
As you may know my Instagram handle is Casa Magnolia because I live in a house with a big Magnolia tree on the front that blooms in spring with this pinkish flowers so beautiful. So, everytime a company comes with a magnolia stamp, I buy it because it fills me with joy trying to reproduce the color in the flowers all year round. When I saw the lovely and beautiful Graceful Magnolias stamp set from PFS and designed by Kelly Taylor I was thrilled!
I knew that I had to have it and make a lovely card with it. To color the flowers I used Distress oxide inks; the same colors I used in the blended backgroound. It was a mix of Tattered Rose, Victorian Velvet and Kitsch Flamingo. For the leaves, I used some watercolor pencils.
As I mentioned before, I used the same Distress Oxide colors to ink blend a part of an A2 panel. In the other background part I used the new A2 Basket Weave Cover Plate Die. Very versatile die for backgrounds. To give more interest I put some Opaque white Paper Splatter.
I used one of the sentiments the stamp set comes with. I heat embossing it over black cardstock and cut it with the coordinating die. The finishing touch were the gems from the new Thunderstorm Gem mix.
And that completes my card. I hope you like it as much as I did. This stamp set really filled me with gratitude and joy.
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today.
Have an amazing day and happy crafting!
Silvana.
