A Magnolia in my mind...

... can be any color of the rainbow!  Hello again - I promised second helpings for Color Hues #68 and here she is!  I have layered my Craft-a-Flower Magnolia in shades of Berries and Olive - not their usual color, mind you - but lovely just the same!


I found another reason to love my Grip Mat from Waffle Flower:
it holds those delicate little layers perfectly still while applying a touch more
color to its edges...


Up close, you can see those gorgeous layers - and this 
little grey panel was just waiting among my snippets to be loved!


A sweet little sentiment from Altenew: Detailed Leaves, and my card is done!


Hope you're not disappointed that I hadn't done another Betterpress card - you'll see more soon! Promise!

Michele, Back for round two with an absolutely stunning card! What a gorgeous die and the variation of colors is perfect. I am totally enjoying my WF grip mat too! What a game changer and something I needed many, many years ago. LOL Thanks for being such a cheerleader for Color Hues. We certainly appreciate you!

Loving those rich colours. Just wondering, are the grip mats similar to the mat in the stamp wheel? xx

Sorry I'm a tad late to the party but life got in the way, two birthdays at the end of July! Love your deep berry magnolia blossom, it is so striking it needs nothing else for it to shine, the soft grey is the perfect foil. Thanks for being a great supporter of Color Hues. :)
