This card is made from a set released today by Flourishes. The set is called Lilac, and features the most gorgeous lilacs, and it also has these beautiful magnolia blossoms, and that is what I used for this sample. My magnolia blossoms are colored first with Copics and then highlighted with Twinkling H20's, which are shimmering watercolors -- so pretty IRL. I also used pure mica on my embossed background panel. www.flourishes.org
