Lets make a card using Geo arch stencil and Foliage shaker die from Pink fresh studio. Its not the usual card I always make but there is a twist here. Lets start with stencilling first. Its a layered stencil and I used 3 colours for stencilling and creating a base. I kept it aside and did some die cutting using foliage shaker die. I used a very thin cardstock and hence had to do quiet a few die cuts. One die cut I did using silver sparkle cardstock. I stacked them all together and let them dry under some heavy weight. While they were drying, I drew two hexagons on the stencilled base and cut them out. I pasted the rest of the base to a top fold white note card and used double sided foam adhesive to add the hexagons as they will give some dimension and beautiful effect to the card. I finished the card with a sentiment and some gemstones.

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

Magnolias are a wonderful choice for a birthday card theme! Their elegant, large blooms and subtle fragrance make them a symbol of beauty and grace. Magnolias are famous for their large, showy flowers, which can be white, pink, purple, or yellow. The flowers usually have a distinct, pleasant fragrance and are often large and cup-shaped or star-shaped. They have broad, glossy, and evergreen or deciduous leaves, depending on the species. Magnolias symbolize beauty, strength, and perseverance. The magnolia is also associated with dignity and nobility.

For my card today, I am using Magnolia stamp & coordinating die, Tulip love cover die and Spiral circle die. I used all the images from the stamp set, coloured and die cut. For the card base, I used cover plate die along with circle die which I die cut using sparkle gold cardstock. I finished the card with some gemstones and a sentiment
