Good evening and welcome to the NC Demos May Blog Hop! We are SO glad you are here! If you have’t already done so be sure to hop all the way around and see Martinette Horner’s post. She is so creative and does wonderful work! You don’t want to miss it!We are ALL so excited about the new 2024-2026 In Colors, so this month’s theme is Color in the Lines. We were suppose to use them and a favorite coloring technique. Since I am featuring Pretty in Pink as the Color of the Month for my In Color Club, I decide this was a great chance it feature one of my favorite colors of all time with the Magnolia Mood Bundle. If you have followed me for any time at all you know magnolias are one of my favorite flowers and these products go together so nicely.
I do want to share that this card was inspired by my friend and customer, Judith. She popped by last week to catch up on a some card kits. I handed her what I thought was the correct flower stamp, but handed her the large magnolia stamp instead which she stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. We had a giggle and she die cut it out to take home and play with after I got her the correct stamp set. Anyway, she made a lovely card and while I couldn’t use the embossing folder she used since it is retired, I thought die cutting the detailed magnolia die in Basic White and layering it onto Basic White layer was a great solution!
This really is a simple stamping card. I stamped the magnolia with Memento ink then colored using the Pretty in Pink, Pecan Pie and Old Olive Blends. This is such a easy way to color any project with fabulous results every time.
I finished off my card with the In Color Shimmer Gems and got a little over enthusiastic with the Wink of Stella, but I guess you can never have enough sparkle!
Here are the basic measurements in case you want to make this card yourself:
- Pretty in Pink 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4
- Basic White 3 3/4 x 5 for layering and a piece of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 for stamping and die cutting.
Thank you for letting me share my Pretty in Pink Magnolia Mood card. I hope I have inspired you to explore the new In Colors yourself. Don’t forget to pop over to see Tina Lesson’s post. I am sure her project is great as always!
