Let’s light the candles and strike up the music!! The owner of Flourishes – Jan Marie Caruso – is celebrating a birthday and we’re helping her by getting the party started with just about the entire Flourishes Crew! Why not leave some love on her blog HERE and while you are hopping around, pay a visit to the Flourishes team members who are honoring her special day!
I hadn’t used the gorgeous new Calla Lilies set from the latest release and was itching to color those flowers. They are so pretty. I stamped the main image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Classic White cardstock. It was colored with Copic Markers (Y11, Y13, Y15, YR18, YG01, YG03, YG17) and cut out.
A piece of My Mind’s Eye Miss Caroline Howdy Dowdy paper was cut with a Standard Circle Nestabilities die. It was embossed with the new So Trendy M-Bossabilities Folder. The embossed paper was sanded, then stitched to a piece of Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest Tear Drop Circle Nestabilities die.The lilies were adhered to circle layers with dimensionals.
A 2 1/2″ wide strip of MME Lime Twist Life is a Party paper strip was adhered to a bigger piece. Both layers were cut and embossed with a Grand Circle Nestabilities die. The edges were sanded and stitched before a White Organdy ribbon was threaded through one of the Tear drops and tied around the round paper layers. The image was adhered over the circle with dimensionals.
The layers were adhered to a piece of white cardstock, that had been cut and embossed with a Grand Scalloped Circle die. The card base was cut and embossed with the same die out of white cardstock and the card front was adhered to the base.
A sentiment from Tag Lines was stamped in Tuxedo Black ink on Solar White cardstock that had been cut and embossed with a Fancy Tag Die. The embossed center was airbrushed with Copic Marker Y11. The sentiment layer was adhered to the lower left of the Lilies. Three Baby Bling Rhinestones were added under the sentiment. Part of a Finesse Rhinestone swirl finish off the card.
In honor of Jan’s special day, the worker bees behind the scenes decided to have a COLORFUL sale to help celebrate! TODAY and TOMORROW only – all Copic Markers will be on sale 15% off.
