Mondo Magnolia

Finally time for me to play in my craft room.  It was a busy weekend and today looks like the only time that I will have to create.  I was inspired for this card by the picture on the Sparkle and Shine challenge.  I used a fall color, but I am NOT ready for fall, so I lightened it up by using ivory and leaving lots of white spaces. 
I colored watercolor paper with my Gansai Tambi watercolors to make the orange.  Then die cut and stamped the Mondo Magnolia flower.  I also sprayed Chartreuse Color Shine onto paper and cut out the "Hello".












The flowers were placed on the ivory GKD cardstock and I interlocked the stitched circle die from My favorite things. There is wink of Stella on the leaves and center of the flowers and a few green sequins from Paper Trey Ink.    
I popped out the center of the flowers to give it some dimension.

I will be entering this card in these challenges.

  1. Fabulous design I love how you put the circle on top of the flower. I am like you it is too early for fall, but to me orange is a spring and summer color too.
