I haven't played for a long time at the
Flourishes Blog. I love their stamps because of the variety of beautiful flowers they produce. This week they have a really interesting challenge, a Progressive one - what a great idea! It starts with a sketch, then adds 3 more steps: make it monochromatic, use some decorative paper, and add bling! You can make 4 separate cards, or just 1, using all of the steps. I chose to do the latter, using one of my favorite flowers from a set called Botanical Bookplates, volume 2. The sentiment is also from the same set, and since its subject is hope, I went pink, thinking this would make a lovely card to send to a breast cancer patient.
supplies: pink and white cardstock, Amuse pink gingham, doily, Flourishes Botanical Bookplates, vol. 2, VersaFine onyx black ink, pink and green markers, pink dotted grosgrain ribbon, flower button, pink heart and round pearls, Scrapbook Adhesives 3D foam squares
This is gorgeous I love the layout and the colours are beautiful. Caroline xxx
