Flourishes Friday

Hello Stampers~

Welcome to another Flourishes Friday!  This week, Christine is heading things up with some fabulous ideas for adding dimension to your artwork.  

For my card, I used the Irish Blessings stamp set and some gorgeous Minuet patterned papers 
from Memory Box.  I colored the image with Copic markers, and added dimension simply by cutting out extra flowers and popping them up with Dimensionals.  The pearls on the bouquet were colored with a B95 Copic marker, and the rest of the pearls were colored with a G82 Copic marker.

Here is a close up view for you:

I also added a bit of White Opaque pen to the centers of the flowers.  The pretty punched border is done with one of my punch-around-the-corner sets from Martha Stewart.  The ribbon is Baby Blue Cotton Linen.
 
Here's a shot of the Copic markers I used:

 The card itself is 5-1/4" square.  I played along with this week's Timeless Tuesday challenge, which is to create a card for St. Patrick's Day or one with green as the main color.

Check out what the rest of the design team created for you today:

• Barbara Anders

Cindy, you amaze me!

I can't believe I had this set, and traded it away, because I didn't know anyone to give it to for St. Patrick's Day! Now I see that this could be colored in different colors and not even be clover, but be beautiful pastel flowers! This is really beautiful. I love the paper you chose!The pearls are such a beautiful touch! The beautiful die cut frame is exceptional!

I love it! Thank you for sharing!
