Flourishes loves CardMaker Magazine and its endless source of inspiration in each edition. You’ll find gorgeous photography; beautiful creations, step-by-step instructions and card and paper-crafting designs from the simple to the elaborate; and we love that a number of our Flourishes designers have been published in its pages! And I love that I am able to work with both great teams!
How about a beautiful rose? This is with the beautiful new set from Sam Pickard called Old Tea Rose. I think it's stunning! I thought I'd watercolour it again, this time with Letraset Aqua Markers alone to give it that beautiful wash of colour that water colouring brings - but with more control. I stamped in VersaFine Vintage Sepia Ink onto watercolour paper, and then coloured away. I cut out the shape with our Flourishes Perfectly Pierced Classic Window Die, framing it behind with another die shape cut from our Flourishes Color Made Easy Candy Pink cardstock. The designer paper is Carta Bella True Friends.
Another great thing I used was this gorgeous Satin Scallop Edge Trim ribbon...it looks JUST like rose petals - so I thought it would be perfect for the design. So lovely!
Your next stop on the hop is my very wonderful and dear friend...
