Bobby has challenged us to use a flower die at Just Us Girls for this week's die challenge. I've got that covered and I'll bet you do too! We also have a new guest designer for the month of May. It just so happens to be a long time blogging friend of mine... Rosemary Dennis! Be sure to pop over to her blog, you won't be disappointed!
This seemed like the perfect opportunity to let my Honey Bee Magnolia take center stage! Pale Peony and Spring Moss inks (PTI) were used for a little smooshing. After cutting all of the layers and leaves, I glued just the center of the magnolia parts and popped everything onto the Mama Elephant Circle Lattice panel. After playing around with card base colors, I finally settled on kraft. It picked up the flower center perfectly! A sweet hello sentiment from Poppystamps was all it needed.
I have a feeling our gallery will look like a beautiful paper garden by the time the week has finished. I hope you'll plant your card there too!

Oh. My. Gorgeous! What a beautiful magnolia, love the sweet smooshing, which added such dainty appeal. The pinpoint detail on the background is pretty fabulous too
It may have to be hand delivered but your magnolia is magnificent in its dimension and soft colors, Lisa.
Aah! This pretty magnolia is made even more beautiful on the pinpoint background! So feminine and pretty, Lisa!
Your pretty colored magnolias are simply beautiful, Lisa! What a delightful card, full of texture.

Gorgeous magnolia, Lisa - just love it atop that circle background!!
Beautiful effect on the flower and leaves with the soft smooshing! Love that background paired with you stunning magnolia!
Love your petty smooshed magnolia Lisa. That background is so pretty and yes, kraft was the perfect color for the card base. It all goes together perfectly.
I love the soft colours of that beautiful magnolia Lisa. Showcased it perfectly with the background and the kraft card base sure was the right choice to back this beautiful card.
Whimsical and so lovely over at Poppystamps. I love the second card, that mama background panel is exquisite and the kraft is such a perfect background.
This is just so lovely, Lisa. I so love magnolias, and I love what you have done with this beautiful bloom. That quilted background is the perfect stage for your flower, and the colors are perfectly chosen.
