Magnolias for you

Hello there,

I have a card to wish a very lovely lady a very Happy Birthday. She's been a guide and a mentor and surprisingly friendly - Paru Mahtani. It's her birthday today!

I used various tricks I learnt from Jennifer McGuire's videos for this card. The Distress Oxide painting is something you'll be able to identify. I have done DO lifting in this card  (Inspired by Loll series card) but I had not done painting with it.

I used DO in abandoned coral and brick red for coloring these Magnolias from Altenew and used Spectrum noir for the shimmer. I wanted to do Monochrome card, couldn't go busier. I fussy cut the top of my Magnolias and used it as the front panel with my back panel giving a contrast. Jennifer had done it with dies, I used the idea of adhering the panel like her.

I had done a similar card and Loll Thompson had CASEd mine, this card reminds me of that honour I received from Loll Thompson. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you like it.
