Christmas Card | Graciellie Design - "Start Anew Magnolias"

Hello!

I'm sharing Graciellie Design's gorgeous new release with you today, "Start Anew Magnolias". This beautifully drawn magnolia bouquet is just one of two large floral images in the set, which also features nine creative sentiments; I chose to create a romantic, pastel color way to pair with the CAS "All is Calm" sentiment! 

Here is the complete Start Anew Magnolias Set - beautiful right???




I sized (to fit a 5" square card base) and printed the Magnolia Bouquet onto 100# white card stock. The bouquet was watercolored, highlighted with pearl paint and trimmed to a 3.75" square. I ink blended a panel with Distress Oxides (Worn Lipstick, Tattered Rose & Abandoned Coral), sprayed it with shimmer mist and spattered it heavily with pearl paint. The bottom corners of the panel were rounded with a punch and it was glued onto the front of the matching card base. A white scalloped die cut square was layered onto the inked panel. 


The sentiment was printed onto a heavy vellum, cut with a large fish-tail banner die and wrapped/attached around the edge of the image on the reverse side. The panel was backed with craft foam, glued onto the scallop die cut and a few clear sparkling sequins were added to finish the card!

The Design Team has created so many amazing projects with this new release - go check out the projects on Gracie's IG -> @gracielliedesign -> she's got a great giveaway going on right now!
