Happy Friday Everyone!
I have a number of things to show you for Flourishes Friday.
My mom asked me to make her some Christmas cards, and also a gift and card for a friend's birthday.
So...without further adieu...
The Cards: Angelic
Have you seen Flourishes Rejoice set? It's got some amazing large images in it. This angel is just one of them. I stamped her with Very Vanilla Craft Ink on Vanilla cardstock, then embossed with White EP. I sponged her with last year Soft Sky and Baja Breeze (have you noticed how well these two colors go together???). And then added Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter on her wings.
The whole inspiration for the card came from these designer papers from last year Spring Silhouettes. I love the Vanilla and Soft Sky together, and the very elegant feel. The papers are sponged to give them depth, some pretty piercing, ribbon and scallops give it a classy soft feel.
Rejoice Card and Candle
My mom had asked for a candle for her friend, so I stamped the angel in Baja Breeze and one of the borders from the set on tissue paper and heat set it on the candle, very soft and subtle.
I love the softness of the card, yet the subtle alterations in color make it really stand out.
I took the large Rejoice Sentiment from the set, embossed it with Vanilla Craft ink and Clear EP on Soft Sky. I watercolored Baja Breeze in the letters, added white gel pen in the berries and along the swirls and added rhinestones for accent....same papers, slightly different feel.
