After my earlier card I returned my books to the library - I love the feel of a hard-backed book. I've gotten over the need to own them -- I simply don't have the room to store them.
Of course I left my craft desk a mess, so before cleaning up, I stamped and heat embossed a few more of those Altenew Magnolias. I am hoarding my bristol paper since I have a long month to go before I can buy any more crafty supplies. I found a pad of Artist's Loft mixed media paper and used that. The Zig markers worked pretty well on that paper. I colored the marker on and blended with a water brush after heat embossing the image.
I made 4 cards and they'll do for 4 different challenges. So lots of photos to come.
For Less is More - Dry Embossing I made this card:
For Addicted to Stamps and More Anything Goes, I am submitting this card:
For Inspired by all the Little Things I am submitting this card: I was inspired by the pink flowers and the touches of aqua/blue in the inspiration photo.
For the City Crafter Challenge Blog - Die Cuts, I am submitting this version:
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Beautiful! Each so perfectly unique, all with those lovely blooms! VERY nice...
These are so beautiful, Cat! I'd say it's a good thing you got that magnolia! You know I love pink, but oh my goodness--the last one is stunning in the gray!
Amazing cards, I love them all! Thant magnolia is stunning and you've colored it beautifully in all of your cards. Really love the dry embossed portion in your card for us at LIM, very stylish and perfectly CAS. Great job! Thanks for joining us at Less Is More!
Really lovely collection of cards
Such a beautiful set of cards, Cat. I just love the first card with the left side embossed panel :)
Each of these are stunning. I love seeing the variety of approaches with the same focal image.
Oh, my, these are all amazing Cat! What a great idea - embossing down the side of the card like that - those are beautiful flowers and coloured to perfection! Love & Hugs. Hazel xx
