On the Thick Whisper White Card stock stamp with Memento Black and die cut it. On the same piece stamp the "dancing gal" and fussy cut. Die cut the 3 layered magnolia.
Color the magnolia with Light and Dark Petal Pink, Light and Dark Mossy Meadow. Completely color one petal at a time with the Light Petal Pink, then color over the areas that you want with the Dark Petal Pink lift some of the color from one petal at a time. Using the same technique color one leaf at a time with Light Mossy Meadow followed by high lighting the darker areas with Dark Mossy Meadow then lift some color. It is important not to color to large of an area at a time.
Add a small amount of liquid glue or adhesive sheet to the center of the Magnolia and sprinkle with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.
Color over the flower with Clear Wink of Stella giving the Magnolia some shimmer.
Tie the ribbon into a bow, apply mini glue dot to the back and adhere to the stem of the flower. Raise on dimensional.
Color the "Dancing Gal" with the same technique using Light and Dark Calypso Coral. Fuzzy cut. Raise on a double layer of dimensional.
On the #3 cut Nested Die on Whisper White, stamp on the right hand side with Versa Mark, add Early Espresso Stampin' Emboss and heat set with Heat Tool.
Once you have die cut the Petal Pink and Whisper White 3 layered Magnolia, use sponge dauber to antique the edges and petals of the flower with Petal Pink. Finish the center of the Early Espresso with Clear Wink of Stella and adhere a Clear Rhinestone to the center.
Glue the DSP directly to the Early Espresso Card Stock. Raise all of the other pieces with Stampin' Dimensional.
To complete use Adhesives Strips to adhere to the 12" x 12" frame, leaving about 3/4" on all four sides.
