Hi there! Welcome to the third day of the June Neat & Tangled release countdown! All of the new products will be available in the Neat & Tangled Store on Friday June 8th at 8:00 am EST!
Today we are showcasing a beautiful new stamp set and coordinating dies called Magnolia. I grew up among the beautiful Magnolia trees. My grandfather had a huge one in his yard that all of us grandkids used to climb up and sit in it. He didn't mind as long as we didn't hurt it. It was his pride and joy. That and his many Camellia bushes :)
So for this card, I stamped everything in black waterproof ink on watercolor paper. ( Master's Touch from Hobby Lobby) I then used Peerless watercolors to watercolor the flower and background. After this was all dry, I speckled it with more of the same colors of watercolor and then some white ink.
Be sure to stop by the Neat and Tangled Blog to see all of the design team inspiration!
Don't forget - there is a giveaway every day this week of the set(s) being featured that day, and a $25 gift certificate up for grabs at the end of the week. Comment on all of the design team blogs all week for a chance to win. Winners will be announced on the Neat & Tangled Blog Friday at 7:30am EST!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wow, Kay! This is beautiful. I loved the story you shared about your grandpa's tree. So sweet and a lovely memory I'm sure. Your flower looks wonderful and that background is amazing. I really like all the different colors you achieved. So very pretty. Thanks so much for sharing! Hugs! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I love how you colored both the flower and the background! :)
ReplyDeleteThere's something special about magnolias. But I must admit I got a water lily vibe when I saw your card, which is great cuz I think this set's design allows it to be used in non-magnolia ways too (that's what I tried to do with my creations!)
