I wanted to give this cool idea by Yana Smakula a try. She used a single background stamp which was a lot easier than what I did. About a quarter way through, I actually gave up on this card, but since returning home, I decided to follow through till the end to see what happens. Well luckily, it turned out okay.
I didn’t have light pink cardstock with me, so on a piece of light blue cardstock, the different flowers from Jane’s Doodles Magnolia were stamped with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Liquid Platinum embossing powder. Masking was used.
The magnolias were coloured with blue Copic markers, then the background was coloured in black. Splatters were added by mixing white gouache paint with water. The sentiment from Jane’s Doodles Birthday Wishes was heat embossed with the same Liquid Platinum embossing powder on a scrap of Bristol paper. Adhered the panel to a split black/white card base to finish.
I chose to heat emboss, but embossing could be dry embossing or embossing paste. Get your creations linked up HERE for your chance to win a $30 gift card to the Jane’s Doodles store.

Whoo hoo, home again. I can't imagine how happy you are to have that over with but how great it must be. I'd love to see your craft room. This card is so lovely. I like the Liquid Platinum, it outlines these flowers so well. The coloring is gorgeous and I love blue and it pops against the black.
This is so gorgeous!!!! Love that liquid platinum embossing and your amazing coloring of the flowers!!!
So glad you are back home, Trina! I know you're happy to be there. Love this card and want to try this technique! Awesome masking and stamping as well as coloring. I"m glad you persevered to the end as it was well worth the effort!
So glad you are back home!! Love this card (of course, since it's such gorgeous shades of blue!). Love way you did the black background with copics - stunning contrast with the blue.
Beautiful Trina, that looks like a lot of work but totaly worth it :)
I think it turned out fabulous! The colouring is so good, love how it blends and the colour looks so good on the lack and obviously love the splatters. Thanks for joining Time Out x
This is gorgeous, Trina, and very reminiscent of what I've seen Yanna do. I'm glad you didn't give up on it even though the masking and coloring took a long time. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
Beautiful card, Trina. Working with the light blue paper was a great way to add the basic color. All your extensive work on this was truly worth the effort. tfs
Gorgeous card Trina. Awesome job finishing it up. Not sure I would have been able to. Hope all is well with you and your family.
Glad you are back home! I'd say this turned out waaaay better than just ok! This is amazing....I love everything about it! Thanks so much for sharing with us at JUGS this week! Stay safe my friend!

Absolutely stunning Trina and what patience with the masking, which was truly worth it.
Your colouring and the colours are amazing.
One stand out card and a real stunner x
Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such generous and kind comments Trina and I am so glad you are back in your home x. Stay safe my friend x.
Oh wow Trina! How spectacular are your beautiful blue blooms! Adore your card. Thanks for playing at AAA Birthday. Stay safe and keep crafting!
So glad to hear that you are back in your home, Trina!
This is absolutely STUNNING! I thought, at first, you colored magnolias on black card base somehow. It must have taken a lot of patience to mask, stamp, heat-emboss and color all these flowers and filled the background in black! The time and efforts were really worth it. It turned out an amazing card!
