Different Looks of Build-A-Flower: Magnolia + Giveaway

Hello everyone! Erum here today and I have quite a few cards to share with you featuring the Build-A-Flower: Magnolia Stamp Set. I love Magnolia flowers, they are fun to colour.

Actually, the reason I made so many cards is because I wanted to show you different colouring techniques on one image. In addition to this, I will also be covering different embossing powders and showing you how they give the same image such variation. Therefore I kept my layout almost same for all my cards so there is little distraction and the image has all your attention.

Also, every image I coloured/stamped , it was die cut using the coordinating die. All sentiments used are from the same stamp set.

My cards today will show you the Build-A-Flower: Magnolia Stamp Set in eight different looks. However, since there are a lot of photos to go through, I will keep the description short.

First up, no-line pencil colouring.

I made a light colour wash panel for some of my cards. Here I used Prismacolors to colour my image. I stamped the image using Antique Linen distress ink.

Next, some no-line water colouring.

I have used distress stains to watercolour this image. Even though I didn't need to add the details on this image to make it look different but I wanted to show you that you can add some specks or lines/strokes to change the look of the petals.

Next, I have used Artist markers to colour my image.

I have used Artist markers in Frosty Pink, Coral Berry and Ruby Red for my flowers. The stem/branch was coloured using Frayed Leaves, Forest Glades and Evergreen.

Next up, stamping layering stamps.

Here I stamped the layering stamps except for the outline stamp using Peach Perfect, Cotton Candy and Rouge Crisp Inks on Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock . I then went in with my colour pencils to add a few details. My front panel is cut from Spicy Yogurt cardstock.

From here on my cards feature different Alenew Crisp Embossing Powders.

First, Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder.

Here instead of a colour wash background I inked the panel using Ocean Waves Crisp Ink. The flower is watercoloured using distress stains.

Next, with Golden Peach Crisp Embossing Powder.

For my front panel I have used Powder Woodgrain Cardstock. Here I have done some two tone watercolouring.

Next with Translucent Pearl Crisp Embossing Powder.

I have used Woodgrain sheet in white for my front panel.

Lastly, with Antique Gold Crisp Embossing Powder.

I have used Spicy Yogurt cardstock for my front panel. Watercoloured the image using distress stains.

Finally, we are done! I hope one of these techniques is your cup of tea. I'd love to see what you do with your Build-A-Flower: Magnolia Stamp Set. Don't forget to tag Altenew or me when you share.
