October 2023 Marvelous Monthly Release

Craft-A-Flower: Rhododendron

In my USDA Zone 5b, I have started the fall transition for the first time in my home garden. Although the Rhododendron is not one flowering plant I have in my collection, I got the chance to admire a Cunningham White variety recently. This was the source of inspiration for the flowers.

As for the foliage, I wanted a dreamy white and frosted cluster to add a soft glow to the petals. After coloring the foliage with green ink, I used Cloud White Pigment Ink to frost the leaves.

Frosted Foliage Fresh Dye Ink Bundle Altenew

Cloud White Pigment Ink Altenew

Mini Blending Brush Set Altenew

Build-A-Garden: Blushing Magnolias

Similar to the previous card, I wanted a colder feeling and softer palette with a lot of white space. For the Blushing Magnolias, I left the majority of the petals white with coral inked accents. I used the Woodless Coloring Pencils to carefully add depth and vein details to the petals.

I used a warm grey palette for the leaves and branches and meticulously arranged the die cut flowers. I used the add-on die set for easy arranging. I filled the white space with Pure White and Jet Black Ink Spray splatters.
