Southern Magnolias card

Hello, friends, and Happy New Year! It´s Silvana here from Casa Magnolia. My first card for 2025 is the first one I´ll send out this year and is dedicated to a beloved friend. I thought the Southern Magnolias stamp designed by the talented Kelly Taylor was perfect because my IG handle is Casa Magnolia, I mean, it was just for me, right?

So let´s see how I did it! 

As I said, my card features the new Southern Magnolias stamp. It´s a background stamp full of details but perfect for coloring. I decided to leave it in black, so I stamped with black ink and then I stamped again with embossing ink and put some clear embossing powder.  

I painted the flower´s background with the new Paper Splatter Opaque Copper which is an amazing color. I love the Paper Splatters because they have a lot of shine in the formula and the look is amazing. After all the background was dried I cut it with the new Beyond Basics: A2 Stamp Cover Plate die with Postmark Dies.Such a fun and versatile die! You need it in your stash, because it´s a true cardmaking basic. 

I glued the background over an A2 black cardstock base which gives it a lot of contrast.   I stamped some of the sentiments from the Graceful Magnolias stamp set onto a black cardstock with embossing ink and white embossing powder. I cut them with the coordinating dies and glued them with foam tape. 

And that´s my completed card! I love the shine and contrast of it and I hope my friend will love it too. 

Thank you so much for stoping by the blog today.

Have a fantastic year!

See you in my next post,

Silvana.
