All That Glitters

Pantone TECH-nique Pin-Sights Challenge

Mondo Magnolia

Welcome!

I stated off by using this beautiful big blossom from the "Mondo Magnolia" stamp set from Essentials by Ellen in black ink onto white cardstock.

                                                                                        I colored the flower with Prismacolor colored pencils and blended a little with some Gamsol. Then added more pencils until I was happy with it. I then stamped it again with VersaMark ink and embossed it in a champagne embossing powder. I then fussy cut it out. I was not loving the center that way, so I scraped off the embossing powder off the center and then added Nuvo Crystal Drops in Black to the stamen and set it aside to dry.

I took another piece of white cardstock and used some Distress Inks in Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch, and Chipped Saphire to ink blend into the top left corner. I added flicks of water, Perfect Pearls, white paint, and finally some watered down black ink. Let it dry and then I stamped the sentiment in Momento Tuxedo Black Ink. I took the blended panel and adhered it to a raspberry colored card base. I used some 3M foam tape on the center of the magnolia blossom and adhered it to the card.

If you love the colors that were used I this card, you can see more at the Ellen Hutson Blog here.
