Are your ready for DAY 4 of the Flourishes October Release?!?! Today we have a beautiful Holiday Set for you...this one is called NATURALLY MERRY.......
Send out Christmas wishes with a natural and earthy flair. This beautiful set, illustrated by Marcella Hawley, offers an elegant sugar pine cone and a sprig of holly. Pair these beauties with three elegant Christmas expressions and you have the making of a gorgeous set perfect for the holidays.
| Here is what I've created........ |
Here is how my card came together....my card base was created with the Flourishes Classic White CS. The Design Paper is from the My Mind's Eye Breeze Collection. The sentiment and the main image were inked in Memento Tuxedo Black and the pine cone was colored with these Copic Markers ~ E00, E27, E29, G82, G85, G94 and Colorless Blender. Next I embellished the card with a Doily, some May Arts Solid Iridescent Ribbon, some Gold Metallic String, a Button and some Prima Smoky Crystals. Before I put my card together I decided to ink distressed the edges with the Ranger Tea Dyed Pad.
