Our weekend was fun and exhausting...!!! I ate way tooooo much and had no exercise at all!!! Talking about being a couch potato - LOL!!!
I'm so glad Spring Break is over and the girls are back in school. I need some serious *me* time - KWIM??? I'll share some photos of the girls with you this week.....I just have to get caught up on a couple things first...!!!
Today is another round of the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge!!! Our host is the fabulous Becca Feeken and she is challenging us with some *PIERCING* on our cards!!! I don't know about you, but I love adding piercing to my creations - it always adds a nice detail!!!! Make sure to stop by the Flourishes Blog to view all the Samples and to find out how to win a prize for playing along!!!
The card measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". I followed the TECC63 Sketch. I started out by piercing my sides with this Ornare Vellum Stencil Border template.
Next I inked the newly released Flourishes Set - Sweet Violets with Memento Black and colored it with my Copic Markers - V15, V17, G28, G94. I actually inked the image twice, cutting out different leaves and flower heads and then I raised them up - you can see it better on the second photo. Once I was done coloring I added some Candle Light Sh
immerz onto the entire image.The DP is from Deja Views - Fresh Print Plum Collection. The double Satin Plum Ribbon is from Martha Stewart. The button is from PTI.
Hope you'll play along??? Please use the keyword FTTC11 to download on SCS!!!
