Southern Magnolia

Good Morning,

Today I created a Southern Magnolia Branch using Susan's Southern Magnolia die set.  

This is a 6x6 inch card.  A piece of Bright Pink metallic card stock was attached to the front.  I used a piece of design paper with a pearlized design in it for the background piece.  Using Spellbinders String Light Background Glimmer Plate, the design was foiled, using the Bright Pink Foil, onto this piece of design paper, then glued to the front of the card.

The flowers were die cut using Susan's Specialty Cardstock.  Light Pink ink was sponged on the petals for shading. The flowers and leaves were shaped using Susan's Flower Tool Kit.   The leaves were created just as Susan shows how to do in her Spellbinders Southern Magnolia YouTube Video.

I wanted to create a branch for the magnolia.  I used Susan's Spirea Die Set for the branch.  Three branches were die cut and colored and glued on the card front.  The open magnolia and two buds were added to the branch then the leaves attached.

Using Spellbinders, Bibi Cameron's Delicate Floral Hummingbirds die cut set, the hummingbird was die cut.  I used some colored holographic cardstock to cut the pieces for the bird. I used colors of cardstock to match the design used on the card.   It was attached using dimensional tape.

A stamp from Susan's Quotes stamp set was black embossed onto a piece of card stock and die cut using a square die.  It was also attached using dimensional tape.
