Good morning Magnolia on a Step Panel card

 Along with the 5 in-colours mentioned in yesterday’s post, the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and dies are also retiring.

Using one of the retiring colours, Purple Posy, I made a Pop-up card featuring this beautiful flower. Last year I visited my sister in Vancouver and visited a secluded garden with many Magnolia trees. The flowers on each tree were different colours and oh they were so beautiful!

I’m not good enough to emulate Nature but I tried  my best.

Using both the light and dare shades of Purple Posy I coloured the flower.  Daffodil Delight was used for the middle of the flower and both shades of Mossy Meadow for the leaves. I also added a touch of Daffodil Delight the leaves. When finished, the flower was die cut and set aside while I made the pop up base

To make the the Front Step Panel card I used the tutorial by Jan B here
