Simply Hollyhocks Set


I have another pretty sample to show you from last weeks August Releases at Flourishes....and this one is a pretty little card set with the Hollyhock stamp...in a CAS style.   Today is the last day you can purchase the August Releases at a Discount.  So I hope you don't miss out!


I decided to do something really clean and fresh in some of the new SU colors, and since this gorgeous Hollyhock set is so detailed I decided to ink it in each of the paper colors' ink and see how it turned out.
  

I added an embossed sentiment onto cardstock vellum with a folded design so that you could still get the effect of the paper color underneath, then I just added a pretty border punch finish and some sparkly Metallic Velvet ribbon from the store.  I love this stuff, it glimmers beautifully!  So there you have it, very CAS...but yet so pretty too.  

Be sure to visit the Design Team to see their Fabulous Flourishes Friday Creations...

    Oh my! I think it is so interesting that the metallic ribbon took on the color of the paper! I didn't know that it would do that.... might need to pick some of that up! This set is just so clean and beautiful looking! Fabulous little gift set!
