Introducing.....
On to my creation!
I just picked up some new BasicGrey paper in the Flourishes store called Sweet Threads and I have to say, I'm in LOVE! This paper has all my favorite colors -- pinks, shades of rose, and apple green. The light pink paper I used is actually from another paper pack called Life of the Party.
My card is easy peasy -- easy layout -- one that lets the paper and stamp do the talking! The flower is part of the new Zinnia set. I just love this single flower and thought using it as an accent would be fun. I colored my flower up with Copic markers and just used three - R30, R35 and RV09. I also highlighted with a little white gel pen. Add a photo corner, some paper piercing, a sentiment from the set and a little bling and... voila!
Here's a close up. You can see that I did stamp the flower twice and popped up a second layer to give the zinnia a little more dimension. See?
And that, my friends, is it! I should point out, all the Flourishes gals whipped up some beautiful creations using this new set. In fact, a few of them admitted, they couldn't put this set down! So, stop on over and see....Barbara Anders
