Just because birthday card

I needed to make a nice card for one of my Aunt's, her birthday is this weekend.  She is has more of a classic, timeless style so I don't do cutesy for her.  So I grabbed my new stamp set from Flourishes, called Lilac.  It has really pretty lilacs in it, but I chose to use the magnolia's that are also in the set.  This is actually 3 different stamps so its easy to create your own magnolia branch.  Magnolia's are typically white with grey and pink accents, so I stamped everything on kraft paper, and then colored in the stamp with a white inkssentials pen.  Once the ink dried I went over the white with grey and pink copics, and used a green copic for the leaves.  Because I stamped it on kraft paper the green ink absorbed differently so I had to go back in with a green & brown prisma colored pencil to add in highlights on the leaves.  The sentiment is on a scalloped oval circle cut out and embossed with a nestability, popped up with a dimmensional.  The ribbon is Purely Pomegranate satin ribbon, which is sadly now retired. Oh and the card base in papertrey inks stampers select card stock.
