Happy Tuesdays!!!
All of us are so excited to be part of the new *Flourishes Timeless Tuesday*!!!
We, the *Friends of Flourishes*, will be bringing you exciting and different challenges each week. This week Cindy Haffner is hosting our first one.
To kick off this challenge in a Flourishes way Cindy wants us all to use *flourishes* or *swirls* of any kind. Don't forget to swing by the Flourishes Newsletter for challenge and link information plus to find out what you have to do to win!!!!
If you have a Flourishes Set - flaunt it, but it's not mandatory!!! To download the card over on SCS please use the keyword *FTTC1*!!!
For this card I used the *Spring Ephemerals* Set. My choice of colors are - Very Vanilla, Bordering Blue, Chocolate Chip. The DP is from my new goody stash *Bella Blue*.
First I inked the image in Craft Chocolate Chip and embossed it with Clear EP. Next I distressed the edges. The Very Vanilla CS below was embossed with the *D'vine Swirl* Cuttlebug folder and then layered onto Chocolate Chip - I also distressed the CC CS. All the main panels were raised with Stampin Dimensionals. At the end I added the Copper Brads and the Brown Satin Ribbon.
For more inspiration swing by my friends - Becca Feeken, Betty Wright, Cindy Haffner, Dee Jackson and Kimberly Crawford.
Hope we have inspired you to play along???
*******************************************
Next is my card I made for the CC204.
It's funny - first we waited all morning for this challenge to show up, and all of a sudden we have two Color Combos going on...well I went with the fun bright one - Tempting Turquoise, Gable Green, Pink Passion and Lovely Lilac.
Once I have colored my image from the new *A Kind Word* Set with matching Copic & Prisma Markers (E00, YG91 - PM50, PM197, PM8, PM134) I raised the image onto Tempting Turquoise. I attached a White 5/8" Ribbon with a Ribbon Slider in the center. To dress it up a bit more I added the cute little Silver Pearls (Michaels). The sentiment is from the same Set and I inked it in Basic Black.
Hope you like it??? ~TFL~
