It's day two of Flourishes October Releases and it's another pretty day on the horizon! I said yesterday that it would be so pretty you'd want to kiss me - and now you can see why, it's Mistletoe!
I created this pretty card with that circle theme of the berries of mistletoe, with some crisp cool greens.
Coloring is done with some very light blues and greens (BG0000, BG11, BG70) (G0000, G40, G21, G12). There is a pretty bough stamp in the set as well - and I curved it to match the circular shape. I cut all the shapes with my Grand Calibur, using the Grand Circles, and Grand Scalloped Circles Dies. It makes larger circular cards so easy! And I love that the scallops make it easy for the card to stand too rather than roll around.
I've added some luxurious white silk ribbon and metallic velvet ribbon (I love these metallic ribbons - so shimmery!) as well as some white pearls and a little sentiment flag. You can see above touches of glitter in the coloring with my Sakura Gelly Roller pen.
