Can you tell that I'm in love with Magnolias? This card uses the large magnolia image from the beautiful Magnolias set from Flourishes. I've been admiring the gorgeous Flourishes floral stamps for a long, long time, but I hesitated to purchase them. Simply because I felt a little unsure of my colouring skill to bring the images to life. But there's no need to be fearful, isn't it, we all need to start somewhere and practise to improve.
The flowers were coloured with Copic Markers RV00, RV63, RV66, RV69, and a touch of YG00 for the flower centre. The leaves were coloured with YG21, YG03, YG17. The sentiment is from the set Mother's Words of Wisdom and I love this beautiful quote from Mother Teresa. The sentiment was cut with Flourishes' Classic Bookplate Template die. After stamping the sentiment, I cut the pattern paper with the die, and then flip the die to cut the other end with the same edge. Here's what I did :
 |
| Die-cut the sentiment using Classic Bookplate Template Die |
 |
| Flip the die and place it on the sentiment piece again and cut it again |
 |
| You'll have a matching edge for the sentiment, and you can emboss it in the same way |
The patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found II Blush 6x6 pad.
I'm so glad to be able to play along for the first time, with Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday challenge.
Here's a little video (my first one) to share the new Flourishes stamp sets I purchased ;) My hand was a little shaky, so I apologise if you feel a little dizzy {grin} & it's so strange hearing myself on the video.
Have a lovely weekend!
