Hey, it's Flourishes Friday, and I actually have a card to share! This week Leslie Miller is sharing her favorite things on Flourishes Blog, so I figured I'd show you some of mine! I really have so many favorites that it would be impossible to get them all on one card, but I gave it a good try!
I started by picking my designer paper in my favorite colour pink, by my favorite company, Basic Grey. Flourishes has carried all their lines, and this one is actually last year's "Bittersweet". I hardly used any of it last year, not that it's at all exclusively a Valentine's paper, but they just kept coming with more and more papers that, well you know, I had to have! This year's Valentine's paper is "Sugar Rush", and it's in store now...while supplies last!
I picked up Angelic Love, and decided to create a Valentine for a friend! I just love the tiny little words that fit either across the locket or on the angel's banner! I chose "Best Friends" along with the sentiment "Friends are kisses blown to us by angels". What a fabulous sentiment for a friendship card, don't you think? I stamped the angel in Memento, Rich Cocoa on Flourishes Classic White, (my favorite Copic colouring paper) and coloured it with my favorite medium, Copic Markers! It was cut out with Labels 4 Nestability and layered on the Small Labels. Spellbinders are definitely one of my top 10 favorite things, and word has it that Flourishes will be getting some of the new labels! I can't wait!
The pink ribbon is the gorgeous May Art's Silk Ribbon, and it's my favorite because my bows always look amazing with it. I accented the corners of the card and image with pearls. I only buy white pearls now, because I can colour them with my Copic Markers to get what ever colour I like. I used RV04 to colour these ones pink. I added a heart pin, one of the Finishing Touches selections, and added an adhesive pearl heart that I coloured with my Copic Marker as well. Lastly, I added some shimmer to the angel wings with a Clear Spica glitter pen...another favorite! I could not pick it up on camera, but it's so pretty in real life!
Well, there you have it....so many of my favorites all in one sweet card! After you check out Leslie on Flourishes blog, you'll find Julie and Christine are also playing favorites, so hop on over and see what they picked!
It's Friday and I hope you are planning a great weekend for yourself! I hope you get to stamp! Thanks so much for dropping by and have a great day!
