Magnolia Blooms All Purpose Card

This is such a quick and easy card but I think it's quite effective.  It's also suitable for just about any occasion.

Versamark used in two different ways to create an elegant, all-purpose card with the Magnolia Blooms stamp set

I stamped randomly with Versamark all over a piece of Gray Granite card stock and then attached it to the Basic Black card front.

The larger magnolia is also stamped with versamark but this time onto a piece of black cardstock and I then heat embossed it using the new Shimmer White embossing powder before cutting the top and bottom with one of the dies in the coordinating Magnolia Memory set.

To add a little more decoration to the card, I used the flower centre dies from the same die set to cut some Gray Granite card and added some white sequins and Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

To finish the card I added some more sequins. 

The Shimmer White embossing powder imparts a glittery finish which is very difficult to photograph!

Magnolia Memory in 3D

My love affair with the Good Morning Magnolia Bundle continues!  This time I only used the Magnolia Memory dies which form part of the bundle.

A simple but very dramatic card made with the Magnolia Memory dies

The base card is one of the new In-Colours - Pretty Peacock.  Then there's a layer of Very Vanilla followed by Copper Foil Sheet and Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper.

I then cut one layer each of the three petal sizes from Very Vanilla cardstock and the leaves and centres are cut from Copper Foil Sheet.

I used my bone folder to curve the petals before the gluing the layers together and adding the centre and then (with the flower on a foam mat) pressed down in the centre to curve the flower up a little.

Having glued the flower into position, I added the leaves  and a gold faceted gem to the flower centre.
