Glamour Girls!

Hello Flourishes Fans!  We have a special treat for you today because we are kicking off the festivities for Day 1 of our Flourishes‘ Sneak Peeks for May and we have teamed up with the Friends of Flourishes Team to play along with the Timeless Tuesday Challenge this week. Want a little peek at the set we’ll be showcasing today?

Our Glamour Girls stamp set, illustrated by Lauren Pope, is a fabulous collection of lovely ladies and some classic "girl talk" sentiments perfect for all those charming gals in your life.  This classy stamp set arrives just in time for Mother's Day!  What more can you ask for?

Now on to our challenge… Denise Marzec is our Timeless Tuesday Challenge hostess this week and for her challenge this week, we want to see you use some "BLACK ACCENTS" (FTTC219) on your card or project.  Let's see you use some black matting, black die-cut images, black ribbon, or try the ever-popular "chalkboard" technique that's popping up all over the blogging world.

Here's my fun glamour girl...

Isn't she adorable?  She reminds me of a young Audrey Hepburn.  And I wanted her to really have that glamourous look, so I really used a lot of black on this card. I used the Silhouette cut file that will be available in the store for this stamp set, and then stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black on Flourishes Classic white.  She's coloured up with Copics and I popped up the flower in her hair/netting for some added va-va-va-voom!  One thing thats really cool about this set is the pearl choker that's included in it and I used it with VersaMark ink and embossing powder for the background behind her on the black layer.  You can see also see how I used it just beneath her elbows on the white cardstock as well.  

The Spellbinders Die on the background layer is A2 Locking Loops.  I thought it went perfectly with the pearly theme.  On this picture you can see the rhinestones, pleated satin ribbon and the popped up flower.  

Today we have both our Flourishes Senior Design Team AND our Friends of Flourishes Team sharing their "Black Accents" inspirations with you!  Take a moment and leave some love on all of our designer's blogs.
