Welcome to Gray Granite week of the Colour Creations Blog Hop for 2024-2025.
This week I have chosen to use a very small colour palette so that our colour in the spotlight shines!

One of my favourite flowers is the Magnolia and we have a very dark purple one in our neighbourhood that has a yellow rose flower just along side of it and I can't wait every spring to see my favourite rose flower right along side it. I was so excited when this stamp set was released as an online exclusive as it is so beautiful and I wanted it to shine today and only add hint of a splash of colour with the Petal Pink.

For the card base I have used Thick Basic White and a layer of Gray Granite. To complete the base of the card I have dry embossed a piece of Basic White with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder.

On top of the our foundation I have die cut in Gray Granite the large and small magnolia and a couple of extra leaves and adhered that to the card before stamping the large Magnolia and the Seed Pod Stamp in Gray Granite ink. I then die cut both of those images and got out my Petal Pink Stampin Blends and using both the Dark and the light coloured the seed pod and the centre of the magnolia. To finish of the card I stamped the sentiment in Gray Granite and die cut it with the Stylish Shapes dies and using a little of the Petal Pink Diagonal trim underneath. Using the Dark Peal Pink Stampin' Blends I coloured the Basic Rhinestone Jewels to add a little bling to finish off the card.

If you have any questions about my project today please don't hesitate to contact me.

What a fabulous stamp set to showcase Gray Granite, Sharon. I love the pared back elegance of your magnolia card with its hint of Petal Pink.

Absolutely gorgeous, sharon. The touches of Petal Pink with the Gray Granite Magnolias and white background is stunning!
