Flowers With Love - Flourishes

Hi there!

I have a bunch of flowery stamps from Flourishes that I bought a year or 2 ago and have decided to break them out and do some creating with them!  Last week I did the Rose Corner Bookmark and entered it in the Flourishes' challenge.  This week I have a card I made using the With Graditude Stamp Set and the Decorative Labels 8 Die as a card base.


 



I made this for the Flourishes' Love Letters Challenge (FLLCJAN13) - love theme.  I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils and mineral spirits.  The little word "love" at the bottom is from the Noteworthy SU Set.  Here's a picture of the inside:


 
 
 
 
 
 
This "love" sentiment is from Hampton Art - Studio G.  I stamped it with Victoria Velvet Ink, but it was too light so I colored a shadow on it with Black Raspberry Pencil.
 
Card recipe:
 
Stamps: With Graditude (Flourishes), Noteworthy (SU), "Love" (Hampton Art)
Paper: Solar White (Neenah), Burgandy (Recollections)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), Victorian Velvet Distress Ink Ranger)
Accessories: Olive Wrinkled Ribbon (Really Reasonable Ribbon), adhesive pearls (Recollections), Labels 8, Decorative Labels 8 (Spellbinders), mineral spirits, White Opal Liquid Pearls, Vesuvius Glitter (Art Glitter), Prismacolor Pencils: Pink Rose, Black Raspberry, Kelp Green, Black
 
I'm also submitting this to the following challenges:
 
Really Reasonable Ribbon #63 - New Toys + Ribbon - my new Decorative Labels Die
 
 
Blessings!
 
Kathy

  9. Saw your card on the Flourishes blog. Wow. I recently ordered this spellbinders dies set, and seeing you use it I'm glad I did. Can't wait for it to arrive. Your card is so gorgeous! I love how you laced the ribbon through the die cuts. And that flower, what an amazing colouring job. :)
