Welcome to another day of our June releases at The Craft's Meow! Today we're featuring a Nina B set called Fancy Flourishes and I know you're going to love this one! It includes the gorgeous flourish I'll show you in a second, plus some smaller motifs in the same style, and two sentiments. This set will be our free set this month with a $50.00 purchase. Here's my first card:
Didn't I tell you you'd love this flourish? Here I let it take center stage, stamping it on some ivory cardstock, along with one of the sentiments, and then just added a store-bought rose and colored in the letters. I thought this My Mind's Eye paper was the perfect background, as it has swirls and flourishes in a much more subtle manner.
For my second card, I stamped the same flourish twice on white cardstock, to be more in the background for this vellum flower I made, using the last of some thick beautiful pink vellum and Spellbinder's Rose Creations dies. I wanted an equally flourished sentiment, so I chose this one from our Lark Additions set, sprinkled some pearls, and added it to a pink card base. Wouldn't this design work nicely for a wedding card, using the bride's wedding colors? (Edited to add:) I'd also like to enter this card into the Moxie Fab World's Birthday Card Challenge, since this was created within a month of the challenge.
