There are just so many elements in this card. I loved using this beautiful Magnolia, with these dainty leaves. To add just a small punch of color, I added the ladybug which just acted as the perfect contrast for the rich green leaves. All the coloring was done with the watercoloring with markers technique, a technique which can be found in the library. The background is a mix of sponging and pan pastel, a technique which will be featured later on. All these together, create a soft, yet vibrant look!
