Flourishes Friday


It is time for a Flourishes Friday post. This week I have 2 cards for you. They are polar opposites from each other. The first card I am featuring today is the Flourishes Irish Blessings set.


Best of Luck

I colored this image with Flourishes Copics Collections:



I stamped the image out onto Flourishes Classic White Cardstock.  I used my Grand Calibur to cut  out my Classic Oval Die.  I added some crocheted lace and a little flower.  




Beach Life

My second card is for Teapot Tuesday over at Splitcoaststampers. This is one of my favorite challenges.  I haven't played in so long.  Each week there is a teapot for inspiration and then they have a destination for the card.  It is a wonderful group of stampers.  This week the cards go to a SCS member that tragically lost her husband.  She wants to some day have a house on the beach.  So I pulled out Beach Life from Flourishes and got to watercoloring it.  I used my Grand Calibur again and the Labels 23 die.  I added some gingham ribbon and a few little pearl flourishes.  Simple card that took FOREVER to watercolor.  

Check out the rest of the Design Team's creations:

  12. Love all the pretty pink and green femininity of your first card and -- WOW -- the second card is stunning! Fabulous color, beautifully done, and destined to lighten the heavy heart of the one who receives it.

  13. Polar opposites is right! But both are gorgeous! I love the first card & the way you did the border punch on each paper was inspired! Loved the look it gave your card. The watercolor is just awesome. You did a beautiful job on that one as well. I don't think you could do a card that wasn't spectacular!
    I hope you aren't in any of the storm areas right now. Stay safe!
