Magnolia blossom

Hello and a Happy Saturday to you all,

Just thought I'd pop on and share a little card I have made for a sweet friend of mine.

I started with a 6x6 bright white card blank and then took a Dutch Doobadoo  shape-art  in a blossom type style and cut around it.  I inked the edges with Spun Sugar, then I added this sweet paper from Paper Boutique  and then I cut the next size down in a coordinating paper and inked in black  to make it pop!
The ribbon/lace I have had in my stash for such a long time and decided to add a touch of that.
I made a frame and inked that also in spun sugar and added some flower centres from two different stamp sets by Verve Stamps, I matted  that on to some pink dotty paper and added to the card using foam pads. The Happy Birthday is from Verve Stamps too and that I cut out using one of the blossom tips as a guide.
I then went about searching for flowers but in the end I made my own up using some petals I had left from other projects and added stamens to the centres.
The sweet Magnolia image I picked up at a second hand sale and I'm afraid I don't know her name yet! I coloured her in using my Promarkers and then fussy cut her out and adding her with foam pads. The final touch was to add some teeny tiny clear gems about the card.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you will be able to leave a word or two as I always enjoy reading them.
