As you might imagine, this Blogger fiasco has wrecked the hop because no one could post or comment for at least two days, posts have been deleted, and well, it's just general mayhem, through no fault of Mark's Finest or its design team. As all the MFP bloggers are able to recreate their posts and get things running smoothly again, I'm sure it will all work out. Commenting on the hop has been extended to Monday so people have a chance to participate.
Thursday is the third day of the Mark's Finest Blog Hop for May...and it's the day to celebrate Magnolia Wedding. This set is near and dear to my heart because I'm a Southern Belle from North Carolina, and I LOVE magnolias.
My first card uses chalk--yes, chalk, that oft-forgotten coloring medium--to color the glasses and the leaves of the magnolia. A small white eraser cleaned up the excess and left a soft color. The pearls lend the final wedding touch.
My second card is a simple one layer. I colored it with an aqua painter and StampinUp inks and rounded the bottom corners. So simple...and such a pretty image!
To participate in the hop, please visit Mark's Finest's Blog. To see all the sets released this month, visit the store.

Two gorgeous cards!! What wonderful designs!
Wow Susan - I love both of your card samples - especially the 2nd one - CAS perfection!
Pretty cards Susan, love the colours and layers that you chose:0) xxx
Such lovely cards. I need to get my chalk out and use it. It really looks lovely on that first card. So soft and pretty.
Wow, I particularly love your first card. The image is perfect for a wedding, Southern or not. That's a beautiful colored CS (bordering blue?) for the background, and framing the image in black really sets it off. Finishing a wedding card with pearls is the absolute perfect finale. Masterpiece, Susan. I love your second card, too, and think it would make lovely notecards.
simply lovely!
Oh, that second card is heaven! I love the magnolia stamp and your subtle colouring.
Both lovely! I like how you stay true to your CAS style.
Both are beautiful magnolia cards! Classic LateBlossom.
