Magnolias - Spellbinders Around the World Stamping Event

 A gorgeous and one of my favorite cards from the #Spellbinders Around the World Virtual Card Making Event.  It took me forever to complete mine as I could not seem to keep all the pieces in the die cut.  I went through piles and piles of very small pieces looking for just the right one.  I have since learned from others in the Around the World Facebook page many different ideas to help me. 

This one of the last classes of the day and I was tired.  However, I watched the replay the next morning and finished this card.

Thank you #Spellbinders Around the World and #Yana Smakula.  I was so sad about the event ending.

Paint Brush

 At first I thought I wouldn't care for this die set.  Boy I was wrong - in real life it is beautiful.  I made one similar to the designer Vicky Papaisannou from Greece for #Spellbinders.

It was so much fun I made two different styles.

I added white splatter to the background to represent painting and colored the bristles with two different shades of pan pastel chalk.   

Hibiscus Bloom

Another card I made at #Spellbinder's Around the World Cardmaking Event.  This is one of my favorites, but I am in need of more practice.  I flatten mine to put on card so I could mails it.  It was no taller than a thick dimensional is.

This Hibiscus Bloom Die Set is stunning and designed by Susan Tierney-Cockburn for Spellbinders.

Thank you Susan and Spellbinders.  I had a marvelous time and hope to have the ability to attend again.

Happy Birthday Always in Bloom
