Hi everyone hope that you are all well. Sorry I've not be around much lately....... Anyway I've had a play today and created this card to enter into this weeks
Less is More challenge which is
ONE LAYER
CARD
The challenge this week is to
USE A
FLOURISH
Chrissie and Mandi have once again created some gorgeous inspiration for us all. So here is my little card for this week:-
I don't know about you, but I just LOVE flourishes and have a few in my collection! This particular corner flourish is by Fancy Pants and is in a collection called Pollen Dust. Its a large 12 x 12 set that I got some years back - it cost a LOT of money but just for this stamp alone I just HAD to have it!! I thought rather than stamping in black that I would for a change use my Versafine Deep Lagoon. I also wanted to create more of a "whimsical" feel to the card so added the bird cage and little birdies (Craftwork Cards Gilded Cages). The sentiment is Papermania.
Of course a card of mine wouldn't be without any sparkle so I added some Glamour Dust here, there and everywhere to the flourish!
Well enjoy the rest of your day, I shall be back around later to leave some comments for my fellow LIMettes!
Take care and until next time...
Happy Crafting
Tina
