Beautiful Day


I am using one of Doodle Pantry's new sets that was just released this month. This set is called Magnolia. Now, I know what you're thinking...pink magnolias? But, I looked on the internet and they do have pink magnolias, as well as yellow. There are 2 different magnolia images with this set...one with leaves and a bud, and one with just leaves. I used both for this card. The only thing I did to these images was rotate them. I printed the image twice on white card stock and colored both copies with my Copic markers (flowers - R61, R63, R65; leaves - YG61, YG63, YG67). I hand-cut all the flowers to make them dimensional. They were also sprayed with Sparkle & Glitter.  The sentiment is also from the Magnolia set. I used the print and cut feature on my Silhouette for this sentiment. The frame around the sentiment was also cut with my Silhouette. The butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch. I punched both pink card stock and pink vellum and layered the butterflies. I added clear crystals to the butterflies and goosebumps on the flowers, and then colored them pink.

The Magnolia set is free with purchase until August 24th.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
