Happy Retirement!

Hello friends… what do you think of the new Magnolia Spring kit????
This little one was my favorite – the image is surprisingly small compared to other Magnolia’s. It worked well with my Spellbinder oval dies. I got to get myself the small petite scallops set. I always have to double mat my images because I miss this set. Cant believe how many sets I have, which I never use anymore but such a basic set I miss in my collection *insert rolled eyes*.

I decorated the inside with a foreground stamp of a Magnolia stamp from 2008, I absolutely love the Cattails. I used them so many times in my cards. It’s quick to colour in and I also was able once to cut it completely out with a exacto knife to adhere several cat tails over my image. I still remember this card The money for this stamp was, money well spent for me.

Thought long about what sentiment to use with the image… was quite limited with the options because I needed the words to fit on my Spellbinder label. I had an other one that said just “Relax”, I thought this one is a bit nicer together with the image.

Image was stamped onto this sparkly paper Crychon or so… I have not colored on this paper for a long time. It really is so different than Copic X-Press Cardstock. It does look very, very pretty but omg.. X-press paper is much easier to colour on.
