Magnolia Mood Dies for As You See It Challenge #339

 

It feels like forever since I last wrote a blog post. We've had a bit of a hiatus over at As You See It Challenges, but we're back now and the first challenge of 2025 is a colour challenge, chosen by yours truly. Take a look at our challenge banner to see the colour palette I chose:

The challenge is entitled Winter Frost, thanks to the inspiration photo, but the colours are Berry Burst, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate and Peach Pie.

I picked out the Magnolia Mood bundle for this one because I felt the colours would look good with the images, but when I went to colour them in with my Stampin' Blends markers, I found that my Light Smoky Slate marker was dry. So, instead, I decided to use the dies to create the images using a kind of paper piecing technique. By the way, this bundle is on the Last Chance list as long as supplies last.

Here's how it turned out:

I die cut the image 4 times, once in each of the colours in the challenge. Using the Berry Burst image as the base, I cut out the flower centers from the Peach Pie die cut and glued it on the flower centers. I cut out all the Smoky Slate leaves from the larger die cut and glued them over the leaves on the Berry Burst die cut, matching them exactly. I cut out all the solid leaves on the Basic Gray large die cut and glued those over the Smoky Slate solid leaves on the large die cut.  I die cut some individual loose leaves in Smoky Slate and Basic Gray and used those behind the smaller die cut.

The sentiment is from the Magnolia Mood stamp set and I stamped it in Berry Burst ink and die cut it with a banner from the Stylish Shapes dies, then added it to the card front with dimensionals.
