Happy Birthday

Just a short post to share a Birthday card made for my sister.  Every time when I visit her, I would take countless photos of the beautiful roses and magnolias in her garden.  They are all so pretty.

When considering ideas for her card, I just couldn't resist colouring this gorgeous Magnolia, a stamp by Melanie Muenchinger, Stately Flowers 3.  I didn't have my camera, and somehow the photos with the iphone, doesn't look quite the same as the card in real life.

The Magnolia was coloured with Copic markers :
Flower centre - E30, E000
Petals - R00, RV10, RV52, RV55, Colourless Blender
Leaves - YG21, G40, G43, G46
Stem - E35, E30, G46, G40

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great day!

Thinking of You

I love magnolias, they are such pretty flowers. I've never seen a real magnolia till I saw my sister had them in her garden.  She has the white and pink magnolias and I always look forward to see them bloom, as it's a sign that Spring is just around the corner.

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this stamp set with the magnolias - Stately Flowers 3 by Melanie Muenchinger. So happy it came in the mail this week.

It's a gorgeous set, isn't it?  And, here's my card:

The magnolia flower is coloured with Copic Markers - Flower Centre (R01, R02), Petals (R81, R83, R85, R89, Leaves (YG21, YG03, YG17), Branch (YG91, YG95), Outline (BG000).  The patterned papers are from Authentique Uncommon 6x6.

This card was made for the StampTV Garden Inspiration challenge this week.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a lovely day!
