Shades of Yellow

The magnolia flowers work beautifully with a soft yellow cardstock and little hints of gold.

Kraft Cardstock

My attempt at blending the edges of the magnolia image into the kraft background didn't go as well as I'd hoped. Sadly, the marker I chose was a couple of shades too dark to be convincing... but not a bad effort.

Fancy Edged Z-Fold Card

This little card folds up to just under 4" x 4", but the z-fold shape allows plenty of space for hand-written notes and sentiments.

Just For You

To create a seamless look between my black card base and the magnolia image, I coloured around the flower with a black marker before die cutting. I added a little black ink to the cut edges too, just to remove any visible white cardstock.

Celebrate

Deanne has used one of the pre-coloured images from the new Stem in a Teacup digital set to create this pretty card. A scattering of coloured sequins adds a little sparkle and a wide organza bow finishes the project nicely.

White on Dark Cardstock

White pencil on dark cardstock is one of my favourite colouring techniques, the end result is always so striking! I've also added black pencil to deepen some of the shadows and to ground the teacup to its surroundings.

Stem In A Teacup Cards

This beautiful collection of cards was created by Cynthia with the new Stem in a Teacup set of digital stamps. She printed and coloured the first two images before incorporating them into her gorgeous card designs. Her third card features the pre-coloured wild rose with the addition of gold glitter in the centre of the blossom.

One Day At A Time

Kathy has coloured the magnolia image from the new Stem in a Teacup digital set to create this card for a dear friend. She added a beautiful piece of vintage lace, threaded with a ribbon, along the top of her card, and a second piece of ribbon as a little bow on the cup handle.

Shaped Card

Pink bling card stock and a fancy shaped die were the perfect accompaniments for a magnolia image coloured with watercolour pencils. A white, double-bow adds a nice finishing touch.
