Flourishes Friday Focus

PastelFernsnFiddles


This week at Flourishes we are focusing on the newly released sets.
I love them all. Each month's releases get better and better. For my first
card I used the new set called Ferns and Fiddles.. I used white embossing
powder and Versamark ink to emboss the ferns on glossy cardstock. 
I then sponged some ink over the
embossing.. 
Check out the Flourishes Gallery for more great samples of the
Ferns and Fiddles..

Hummingalong

For the second card I used the new set called Humming Along.
I have some really pretty hummingbirds that visit my deck each
day during my morning coffee.  They are so fast.

I colored the florals with the Copics Collections available at
Flourishes.  I added some highlights with Prisma Pencils.  This
wonderful cotton linen ribbon is also available at Flourishes.  This
ribbon is so nice when making bows.  
Check out many more great examples of how 
to use this set in the Flourishes Gallery...Humming Along
They are amazing.....

  3. Wasn't sure I was on the right blog at first because there wasn't a coloured image. Love how you embossed the ferns on the card and added the lace. Love how the hummer is outside the main image box on the second card. Lovely piercing and fabulous colouring as always :D

  21. Hi Dawn~

    I love the appearance of the first card. The cool colors are so relaxing, and I love that quote! That special lace is so delicate and beautiful!

    The second card is wonderful, also. I love the colors and the coloring of the hummingbird and the plant. Your paper piercing adds a lot to the card, and I love how this particular ribbon holds the bow. Thank you for sharing two incredible cards!

  30. How soft and pretty the blues and greens are together in the first card. I really like the pretty lace.

    The vibrant colors of the second are stunning. I like the piercing and how you let the elements of the image overhang the frame.
