Introducing:
Magnificent Magnolias

The Ton is known for their amazing floral stamp sets and the Magnificent Magnolias are a stunning addition to the collection.  Each flower has a different shape and is captured at different stages of blooming.  The branches are crooked and bent into shapes that add a lot of interest and really bring the Magnolias to life.

Stamps:  Magnificent Magnolias (The Ton).
Dies:  Double Stitched Rectangles - Large (The Ton).
Ink:  Noir, Hampton White Pigment Ink (The Ton).
 Mix:  Blue Ice (The Ton)
Paper:  140 lb watercolor (Canson), black cardstock, white 110 lb cardstock (Neenah)
Accessories: Zig Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush Markers, Antique Linen Distress ink (Ranger), white embossing powder (Ranger), dimensional tape.


For my Magnificent Magnolias I did some no-line watercoloring.  Using distress ink to get the lightest possible stamped image, I then colored them in using Kuretake Real Brush markers and water.  I also colored the background the same way with a blue real brush marker.  I diecut this finished, painted piece using The Ton's Large Double Stitched Rectangle dies.  The largest one in the set cuts a perfect A2 size stitched panel.

The sentiment is from the same Magnificent Magnolias stamp set and I heat embossed in white on black cardstock.  To get the brightest white results I always use The Ton's Hampton White Pigment ink first.  The white embossing powder sticks great to this white ink.  I cut the banner then popped it up with some dimensional tape.

For the final touches, I added some black splatters of The Ton's Noir black ink mixed with a little water.  I like using that ink because it dries fast.   Then I  glued on some shiny sequins from  The Ton's new Blue Ice Couture Mix.
