magnolias

 This time a card using the magnolia stamp from Chocolate Baroque again - and this time I have used it the right way up!

The background was created with brusho powders, using leaf green and turquoise on drawing cartridge and cut down to fit a 8"square card blank.

The magnolia was stamped twice down the left side using grey versafine ink. Once the ink was dry, I used bleach on the blossoms and then coloured the image using zig clearcolour pens.

Stamped the magnolia twice onto smooth white card, coloured and fussycut out, then layered over the first images

i would like to add this to the following challenges

March candles

I am addicted to decorating candles, and last month's samples for Chocolate Baroque included two candles.

The first was a candle and matching box using the lovely magnolia stamps from Happy Flowers Day-- and yes, I do know that magnolia flowers are upright, I just like them hanging down| 

I did use the stamp both ways on the box, though......i used zig brushpens to colour the images, they blend beautifully

My second candle used the Year of Stamping  image for
 April, featuring butterflies - I left the background plain and just coloured the butterflies with the zig pens again-  this was a larger candle as the stamp is roughly 6" square.

It looks quite different below as a card using brusho powder in grey!
