Magnolia (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

Welcome back to day 3 of this month's Neat and Tangled release week! Today, we're showing off a sweet floral set designed by Danielle, called Magnolia.

Magnolia (Neat and Tangled release week)

I colored a bunch of the floral images and clustered them around the sentiment strip. I stamped a sentiment from Friendly Florals. I wanted to make sure that the sentiment was simple in font and not too long, so that the flowers would really shine.

The flowers themselves were colored using copic markers. I colored the flower centers in deeper pinks, and faded out the pink into a light violet color on the edges.

I used foam squares to adhere everything to a polka dot background (the die is by Lawn Fawn.) Underneath the polka dot layer, I hid a sheet of aqua cardstock. It's subtle, and adds a pop of color and interest to the base.

I hope you like it! Before you go, leave me a comment! As always, Danielle will award one commenter a $25 gift card to the NT store at the end of the week, chosen from among the design team blogs this week.
