Magnolia in Black and White - SUO Challenges #227

Today is a perfect summer day - sunny, warm with low humidity.  After spending some time in the garden, I came inside to make a card for the sketch challenge with SUO Challenge #227.

I guess I must have had flowers on my mind, because the card I made featured a flower.




On a Thick Whisper White card stock base, I added 4 equally spaced panels of Magnolia Lane DSP.  Each panel is 7/8 by 5 1/4".


On a 3 by 4 1/4" Whisper White art piece, the large Magnolia flower is embossed with the new Black Glitter embossing powder.  Wow, what wonderful shimmer!


The sentiment is embossed with the new White Glitter Embossing powder on Basic Black card stock, and adhered to the top of the art piece. 

Before adding the art piece to the card base with dimensionals, it is matted with Basic Black card stock, so that a small portion of Basic Black card stock showed only on the two long ends, and some clear faceted gems are added randomly .


Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Good Morning Magnolia
Ink:  Versa Mark
Papers:  Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Basic Black, Magnolia Lane DSP
Accessories:  Black Glitter Embossing Powder, White Glitter Embossing Powder, Clear glitter faceted gems, Dimensionals.

That flower looks so stunning in the black and white against the DSP - such a great take on our sketch - thanks for joining in with us at SUO Challenge this week.
