My first card features the Mondo Magnolia and coordinating Mondo Magnolia Dies. I die cut the flower petals, then stamped the images using grey archival ink.

All of the die cut pieces were coloured using Gansai watercolour paints, gilding the edges with the gold colour.

I cut the centre out using the smallest of the three dies, revealing the bottom layer. The stem and leaves are from the Wild Garden Dies.

My second card features the Be-YOU-tiful Die, which I turned into a shaker by die cutting glittery gold stars using Home & Hearth Dies from the inaugural Essentials by Ellen release.

I used additional phrases from Amazing Women to create a custom sentiment. Then I framed the card with vellum flowers die cut from the Wild Garden Dies.
