We all know about the "little black dress!" But, what about your cards and creations? Thanks to Flourishes, you can add a splash of sophistication with the newest kit with the same name -- The Little Black Dress! Check it out!
With Flourishes' 1,2,3, Create Kits, you have three essential elements in one kit --paper, ribbon and embellishments all color coordinated to make card making easy! This kit, called Little Black Dress features a 6 by 6" BasicGrey Little Black Dress paper pack, a pack of Prima crystals, 1 yard of braided trim, 1 yard of scalloped crochet lace, 2 yards of satin edged black velvet ribbon, 2 yards of luminous ivory ribbon and a mix of embellished buttons and accents. Isn't it regal? Well, Flourishes actually has a handful of kits for you so that your cards have just the right look. You can click HERE to check them out!
I decided not to use ONE 123 Create Kit but TWO! Let's start with the Little Black Dress!
I just think ivory and black patterns are so posh -- add in a dash of color and you have one classy look! I used Spellbinders Classic Ovals and Classic Scalloped Ovals Nestabilities for a mat (cut thanks to my Grand Calibur)and one of my favorite sets-- A Year in Flowers 1! (Colored up with Copic Markers in the Daffodil, Sunflower and Fields Collections!) I also love that everything I used --- is in the kit!
And, a previously released kit is still one of my faves!! This little number is the 123 Create Kit called Sunshine! Match it up with Flourishes Christmas Candles set and you have a color coordinated creation... in a jiffy! I colored up my image with the Flesh Tones 1, Evergreen, Poppy, Cool Neutrals and Sunflower Copic Collections. I again used my Classic Oval die to cut my main image!
