Today’s project was made for a friend who is currently fighting cancer. I wanted to brighten her day and I’m hoping this card will do just that. The sentiment for this card is from Strong and Beautiful (148732). I started with a half sheet of letter sized cardstock in mossy meadow cut at 4 1/4” by 11, scored and folded at 2 3/4” and 5 1/2”. I then cut layers from the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper at 2 1/2” x 4 and 4 x 5 1/4. You will also need a piece of whisper white cardstock cut at 2 1/2” x 4 for the center panel so you will have a space to write. I used my Stamparatus (146276) to stamp the beautiful large magnolia image from the Good Morning Magnolia bundle (151087) which includes the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and coordinating Magnolia Memory dies. I stamped it in early espresso on a piece of whisper white cardstock. I then used my stampin’ blends in light and dark mossy meadow, light and dark flirty flamingo and light soft suede to color the image. Once colored, I placed it back in the Stamparatus and overstamped the image in Versamark ink then added copper embossing powder and heat set it. To finish off the image, I added a bit of wink of Stella to the flower petals. I then used the coordinating magnolia memory dies to cut out the image. For the inside of the card, I stamped two of the small magnolia flowers, colored them with the same blends, cut them out with the coordinating dies and attached them behind the front panel for a little surprise when you open the card. The sentiment is stamped on a piece of cardstock cut at 1” x 5 1/4” in early espresso ink.
