My first card features the large magnolia image from today's set. I added some pearl flourishes for a touch of elegance.

I played with another new toy for my second card. I have always wanted to try quilling. My mom did some amazing things using this craft. I found a Cuttlebug quilling kit the other day and thought I might be able to make my own magnolia (even though the kit is called Rose/Carnation). I think it looks close enough!


I hope you enjoyed this month's release. I've seen some really awesome creations this week. Be sure to check out the rest of the team's blogs and comment for the chance to win one of March's sets.

    Lois,
    Beautiful cards. The first card with the wonderful pearls is awesome and the center of your magnolia perfect. Your second card with your quilled magnolia is very pretty and the DP is outstanding!
