#TGIFC266 Product Challenge - Magnolia Sympathy

It's Friday!!!  Y'all know what that means...time for an all new TGIF Challenges.  This week we have a Product Challenge for you...it's time to break out your vellum and favorite die cuts!

I am so happy that Good Morning Magnolia and the coordinating Magnolia Memory Dies are carrying over to the new catalog. This is one of my favorite stamp sets to color.  The die cut vellum leaves and magnolia worked beautifully with the pretty little magnolia buds.
I colored the magnolia buds with Flirty Flamingo and Old Olive Stampin' Blends, tucking the vellum die cuts behind them.  I created a soft background by sponging Soft Sea Foam and stamping the sentiment in Basic Gray.  I stamped the back layer of card stock with the large magnolia to add just a bit more color.  I added just a little bit of bling with Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets, which I am also very happy are carrying over!

I never like having to make sympathy cards, but I always hope that when I do, the recipient knows that it was made from my heart. Sadly, this card is being sent to my husband's cousin and his wife, who lost their baby last week.  Our family is heartbroken and are sending all of our love and prayers in this card.

Create Your Own Cutting Garden ~ HSSIC#340

Hello friends!  Welcome to an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge.  I have been working all spring on planting a cutting garden and I can not wait for all of my flowers to start blooming!


While I wait, I had so much fun creating some paper flowers in some of my favorite varieties!

I used the Daisy and Perennial Flower Punches, along with Magnolia Memory dies to create the flowers. I used up the last of my Perennial Essence Floral Centers, some of them inked up in Early Espresso.  I am sad to see these fuzzy little embellishments go.  I had the perfect little bud vase to arrange these flowers in and finished it off with a cute little tag stamped from Celebrate Sunflowers and cut out with Tasteful Labels Dies.

Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Rocco Rose, Grapefruit Grove, Whisper White, Petal Pink, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, So Saffron, Basic Black

Ink ~ Memento, Early Espresso

Stamp Set ~ Celebrate Sunflowers

Other Supplies ~ Punches: Daisy, Medium Daisy, Perennial Flower

Dies : Magnolia Memory

Perennial Essence Floral Centers
