Magenta Flower Card

Have you seen that whole section of Magenta stamps at the store? Hare dedicated a whole section for them back by the Distress pads. It looks great, and there are lots of samples that match the stamps that are there. Here is another sample that goes with one of the stamps. The image was inked in black and stamped onto vellum. Once the ink was dry, the paper was turned over and colored in with colored pencils on the back of the vellum. On the card front, a design image was stamped in pink onto the card. Then the vellum was glued onto the front of the card.

Magenta Flower Card

Are you getting flowers for someone for Easter? Here's a nice alternative. I loved these precut flower cards by Magenta. All you have to do is add color. Before adding color to this card, design stamps were used with a Watermark pad on the vase and petals. Clear embossing powder was added and heated which created a resisit to the colors. The colors were then sponged on. After sponging on the color to the petals, a design stamp was stamped over the leaves in a darker green. The last step was to add irridescent glitter glue to various spots on the card. This also makes a great Mother's day card.

Magenta Tulip

Been working on Easter and birthday cards tonight. This tulip is great for many occasions, but here it's being used for Easter. The message stamp is by Penny Black. Pigment ink was put directly onto the stamp. The edges of the paper were sponged with the same ink that was used on the tulip. This is a large tulip by Magenta. Hope your week is off to a good start. I'm just heading to bed. Been skyping with a friend overseas. Time differences means she's up early, and I'm up late, but it is a nice way to keep in touch.
