Hello Stampers~
How are you on this fine Thursday? We're in the middle of Flourishes February release week, and the sets are as fabulous as ever! Today's set is called Tiny Flowers & Tags, and is seriously FUN to play with! I just know I will be making a bazillion cards with this awesome set. Here's my first one:
The card size is 3-1/2" x 5-1/4". I used some old speckled tan cardstock for the base, and layered on a few pretty My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Sunshine papers. I used my Scor Buddy to score vertical lines on a couple of the tan layers to add texture and interest.
The sweet, little flowers were colored in with the following Copic Marker Collections:
The little tag was made with Flourishes new Classic Tags Tailor-Made Dies. Check them out:
They are super-sweet, and sized perfectly for Flourishes many small sentiments.
The bow was made with with Solid 1/2" Wrinkled Ivory Ribbon. A bit of twine and a yellow corduroy brad finish it off nicely. That sweet crystal stick pin is from Maya Road, and will soon be in the Flourishes store. I added a bit of beautiful crocheted trim and some 1/8" Pale Aqua Velvet Ribbon. I gave the flowers, tag, and borders a bit of sparkle with my Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust Pen.
My favorite embellishments on this card are the two sweet Candi dots in the upper left corner. They look just like fancy brads, but are actually made from paper. The ones I used are from the Saville Row collection. You can color the white ones with your Copic markers for an instant perfect match! You get about a bazillion in a package for just $4, which is a CRAZY good deal, compared to traditional brads. We discovered them at CHA, and they have already arrived in the Flourishes store in several different color combos. You'll want to grab some Candi Fix Foam Pads while you're in the store, as they are the perfect way to adhere your Candi dots.
