The large magnolia is hand drawn, the smaller ones on the tag are Flourishes stamps. After I drew the large flower and coloured it I had no idea what to do with it. I considered leaving it plain with just a sentiment stamped directly on it or as I did, tart it up with ribbon and bling. Opinions would be appreciated.

It's really beautiful! You could have also just framed the drawing!

Ooohhh... I love it tarted up, but would also love to see it in a frame! It's absolutely gorgeous... I can almost feel the velvety softness of the petals.

Wow, what a fabulous job. If I could draw like this, I'd never buy another rubber stamp! When I first saw the thumbnail in the gallery, I thought you might have used part of a ready-made card. And the coloring... gorgeous!
And since you asked for opinions, I wouldn't have added anything to it, not even the sentiment. The beauty of your art stands on its own and needs no distractions.

Opinions - I like this tarted up version and as far as what to do with it - just mail it to me and I will put it in a frame. OMG, Elizabeth, what do you mean you didn't know what to do with it after you drew it?! It is totally gorgeous and the details added are beautiful. My friend, you are uber (I really do hate that word - but it fits so well here) talented. Truly - it is gorgeous and could be framed!!
