Today the Flourishes design team is sharing projects from this month's new release. I chose to work with the gorgeous Petals and Peace stamp set, along with the matching Classic Keyhole Die Set.
While this set lends itself to elegant holiday cards, as you can see, it also lends itself to other occasions. I embossed the image in white on some fabulous European Watercolor Paper, and colored it all in with dye inks and a water brush. Those dainty patterned papers are from Basic Grey's new Picadilly paper pad. The card base is Classic White. I added a couple of tiny chocolate pearls to the sentiment tag, some pretty sheer brown polka dot ribbon, and a white Whisper Heirloom Button. I colored the button center with my Y38 Copic marker. The final touch is a pretty border punch along the bottom of the card.
Check out what the rest of the gang did today:
- Barbara Anders
