Mother's Magnolias...I feel like I'm in the South using this image..oh, I am! LOL I love this set with the beautiful blooms and sentiments. Magnolias are very well known to the deep South and have a wonderful fragrance. The Southern Magnolia can reach 60 to 80 feet. Just had to add those little tidbits in to my post.  This stamp set is great for so many wonderful occasions and I'm going to really enjoy using it.

I colored my image with just a bit of gray shading on the bloom and added glossy accents to the seed pod.

I thought I would show this card, too. I made the top one and noticed a few days later the Spellbinders Lattice rectangle die on my table and thought it would look good over the black panel.It's the same card except for adding the die cut. I took a photo both ways. It's interesting how adding one small thing can change the way a card looks. Which do you like best?
