Hello All,
I had a request from Stacy on how to make the flowers that I used on my magnolia card. I looked on Youtube for similar techniques to what I used to make the flowers.
With the ribbon flower since I used much thinner width ribbon than shown in the youtube link, I found I need to continually stitch the flower as I coiled it.
With the cardstock flower I used my silhouette to cut out the flowers or alternatively you could use the EK success flower punches (come in 3 different sizes) to punch out these flowers. In the youtube video the lady used Stazon ink to edge the flowers. I found using a water based ink such as Stampin Up gave a much better effect after misting the flower. The ink would spread a bit with the water. To make it even easier to colour the edges of the flower I found using my Stampin Up marker pen (the paint brush end) a lot quicker.
Hope this helps Stacey

My craft mojo has been missing for a very long time. I am glad to say it is finally back – yay!
I have been really enjoying usung my Copic Markers. They take a bit to get used to but are well worth the trial and error. They just make your stamp images jump right out of the page IMO.
I have been scouring the internet to make my own flowers. My two criteria is they need to look good but also be relatively easy to make.
This card I have made for an upcomming engagement party I am going to. All these flowers (except the white ones) I have made myself. I hace used Copics to colour-in the Magnolia stamp image. Heart charm – Kiki crafts.
