I made this card for the Alphabet challenge Round 20, Location: L for Louisiana. The magnolia is the state flower.
I couldn't find a magnolia in my stamp stash, so I drew one from a photo I found on the internet. I used watercolors to create the flower and the leaves. I fussy cut them out to add to my Center Display card using specialty papers for the base.
This card is also for TLC997. Thanks for a fun technique, Sabrina. Easy to follow instructions on the Monday Technique Challenge for April 1, 2024.

You really created a beauty. The magnolia is gorgeous and the watercoloring looks awesome.

That is truly magnificent. Your drawing is as beautiful as my PSX magnolia stamp, and deserves to take centre stage. I think they are such beautiful flowers (although prone to discolour from frost here), and every year I seem to take more photos of them even though I already have plenty.

Oh wow Gracie that magnolia. It is absolutely jaw dropping stunning and should be turned into a stamp. Fantastic card. Happy day
