Happy Sunday.
It's the fabulous Ann's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a very timely theme for us. I decided to ink up a fairly new stamp from Pinkfresh Studio called Magnificent Magnolia. I used the matching press plate, stencils, dies and some Copic markers for my creation. Here's a sneak peek:
And here is Ann's challenge:
I really am enjoying playing with my glimmer hot foil system. I know I could have used gold embossing powder, but the soft, crisp edges that you get from the hot foil is fabulous.
As always, our design team have some fabulous inspiration for you:
On a personal note:
Well, having gone from nearly -40 to +50 certainly confused everything. I can't believe it's the 2nd of February and we don't have any snow on the ground. I really do miss seeing it at this time of the year. It just doesn't seem right without it. It was so warm on Friday that I was looking for furniture for our new deck and then realized that it wasn't even the end of January and we were, technically, about 4 months from needing it!
Oh and @LeAnne, just to let you know that your name came out of the hat for the Alexandra Renke blog candy – so the Just for You stamp set will be winging it's way to you.
I'll be back later in the week with some more cards. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs

This is just stunning!!
Jaydee… absolutely stunning! You are right, the foil is stunning so much subtler than embossing powder. Great frame too!
Jaydee, your card this week takes my breath away! It is gorgeous. The colors of the magnolia are so soft and subtle and look wonderful against the blue. The hot foil is fabulous. I am so glad you created a “love” card that could be used any time of the year! Have a wonderful week!
What an absolute stunner! Those magnolia, with their crisp metallic edges and depth of colour, are so real they could jump right into a vase! The soft sky-like background and elegant frame moves them even further up the ladder of gorgeousness. I am intrigued by the hot foil system you are using. It isn’t something I’ve seen or used but it looks like a great craft-room asset. Have a lovely week. 🙂
Jaydee this card is just beautiful – and the frame lifts that beautiful magnolia and adds real depth to your card. I love the effect of the foiling – it’s much finer than embossing, so delicate. Gorgeous!
I love every inch of your gorgeous card, Jaydee! Setting the floral spray in the postage frame just pulls it all together so beautifully. I agree with you – hot foiling, especially with press plates, is so satisfying and far less messy than embossing powder. I like that you made a with love card, too, showing how many options this theme has.
Jaydee—-there aren’t enough words to describe this gorgeous card!! I LOVE the gold foil frame, the background and the stunning flowers. This card is going to bring someone so much joy! Great idea to make a card that can be used all year, too! Have a fabulous weekend!
