I don't use my flourishes enough, I forget how they are special on their own or as part of another design.
This one-layer card starts with a smooshed base made from distress inks and perfect pearls. This flourish stamp, which I have had for years as part of a set but never used before, is the perfect shape for the smoosh. I gold embossed the flourish and the sentiment (which jumped out of the box begging to go on here).

gorgeous. Love how you used that flourish stamp.
ReplyDeleteYour flourish and smoosh were meant to go together Carole, and the sentiment needed to be there too :-). So glad you listened to your stamps as this card is fabulous.
