Mom

 Hi crafty friends!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Today I have a pretty card to share with you that I created for my mom using an image from 

Pink Gem Designs. 

With Mother's Day fast approaching, I wanted to get ahead a bit and get my mom's card made. The Magnolias from Pink Gem Designs were perfect! I started by creating a A2 card base with some white cardstock and layering a white die cut panel on top, popping up with foam tape. I die cut my letters to spell out MOM from more white cardstock and layered some gold glitter cardstock behind, off setting it just a little so that it peeked out from behind the white letters. I added those to my card front, centering it as best as I could. I printed out some of those beautiful Magnolias and colored them with my Copic markers. I used my Scan N Cut to cut them out & heat embossed the centers and buds with some gold embossing powder. I popped them up with more foam tape and my card was done! I think it turned out so beautiful and elegant! 

My picture definitely does not do it justice. It is so sparkly in person.  

Here is a picture that I took using my flash just so you can kinda see the sparkle.

Copic Colors Used:

--Flowers: W0, W1, W3, E84--

--Leaves: YG93, YG95, YG97--

I would also like to play along with the following challenges:

(I did thing 1, 3, & 2)

I hope you have a great crafty day!
