First up are these ornaments. I believe they are by Stampendous, although I don't have the original packaging. Aren't those flourishes on the ornaments? I used the beautiful pink and grey color combination from Dynamic Duos and made my first Christmas card of the year. Woo hoo!
Supplies:
Paper: PTI white
Stamps: Stampendous, Hero Arts sentiment
Ink: Memento rosebud, London fog
Other: Casa Collection ribbon
Second, I used this sentiment from a TPC Studio set called butterfly collage. I'm hoping that those brackets on either side of the sentiment are considered flourishes. I used the butterfly from the set and did some simple masking.
Paper: PTI white
Stamps: TPC Studios butterfly collage
Ink: Memento grape jelly, sweet plum, lilac posies, lulu lavender

Love the pink and grey colour scheme and your card is just gorgeous, the ribbon is perfectly placed for the design.
ReplyDeleteHello there Anne, Gorgeous cards, the first flourishes on the baubles are perfect IMO and now you've got another Christmas card LOL I think your brackets are beautiful on your second card they frame the pretty sentiment, xxx
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards Ann! I'd say they were definitely flourishes. I love the colours on the baubles card - beautiful!

ReplyDeleteHey, nobody could stretch the meaning of "flourish" any more than I did with my teeny weeny grape vine! I love both of your cards and your flourishes are totally flourishes! I also love your use of the colors for the DD challenge. Aren't they so pretty together?!
