Magnolia Frenzy and More

Hi there! I hope you're keeping warm, or cool, depending where you live. It was very here chilly today. Our neighbour's Magnolia tree is full of buds and is getting ready to flower. IIt is the nicest Magnolia in our area and I'm so happy we get to enjoy it too:)

Hi 

I'm very happy with the colours of this magnolia.  This is a Penny Black Brushstroke stamp. I used Zig Markers and blended on the stamp and on the card.  I used the Antique Fame die and sponged the edges to get a vintage feel.

Stamps: Penny Black 'The Unfolding', 'Banner Sentiments'.

This stamp set is from The Ton Stamps.  I silver embossed the image and coloured with Zigs again and silver Wink of Stella. The colours are a bit softer this time. 

The sentiment and butterfly are from Clearly Besotted and the frame die is from MFT. 

I used the same stamp for this card and blended the zigs with a Nuvo Shimmer Gloss pen and used patterned paper in the background.  The frame die is from Mama Elephant. 

My next card is inspired by the sketch at Case this Sketch Challenge. I decided to use some of my coveted Japanese paper.

I made a couple of strips with white card and Gold Delicata Ink. The Alexandra Renke butterfly was coloured with Zigs and I placed a touch of gold thread under the butterfly.

I'm sharing  at the following challenges:-
