Finishing Touches on a Tuscan Villa

Doesn't that sound dreamy???

Today Latisha, Julie and I get to show you some fabulous sneak peaks on the new Finishing Touches at Flourishes - to be available on Friday. We're up to show you Stunning Slides in three beautiful finishes: Copper, Gold and Silver. There are nine styles of these gorgeous slides in the traditional style, contemporary style and elegant style; each style is available in all the finishes.

I've used Copper slides in the elegant style on this card:

I colored these gorgeous sculpted Topiary trees with Copic markers and trimmed them out. I love the play of the Baja Blue against the deep Artichoke Green. Yesterday's sketch challenge was a really complex one, but I thought it might work for this card, so I used papers from Basic Grey (Marrakech), Always Artichoke Prints and Manchester DSP with the sketch. I thought that the coppery paper looked like a window from this Tuscan window to the sunset.

Aren't the ribbon slides gorgeous? I love how they mirror the rounded copper detailing on the planter. Here's a better look:

I've threaded the slides through some gorgeous Silk Ribbon from Flourishes, and did some piercing. You really don't need too many details when your accents are so beautiful! I have not seen anything like these gorgeous pieces in the crafting world yet...I'm so excited to use more!

Stop by and see Latisha and Julie for more!
