Timeless Tuesday - Flourishes Sneaky Peek

Hello Flourishes Fans!  We have a special treat for you today because we are kicking off the festivities for Day 1 of our Flourishes‘ Sneak Peeks for May and we have teamed up with the Flourishes Finest Design Team to play along with the Timeless Tuesday Challenge this week. Want a little peek at the set we’ll be showcasing today?

 

 

Our Glamour Girls stamp collection, illustrated by Lauren Pope, is a fabulous collection of lovely ladies and some classic "girl talk" sentiments perfect for all those charming gals in your life.  This classy stamp set arrives just in time for Mother's Day!  What more can you ask for?

Now on to our challenge… Denise Marzec is our Timeless Tuesday Challenge hostess this week and for her challenge this week, we want to see you use some "BLACK ACCENTS" (FTTC219) on your card or project.  Let's see you use some black matting, black die-cut images, black ribbon, or try the ever popular "chalkboard" technique that's popping up all over the blogging world.

Today we have both our Flourishes Finest Design Team AND our Friends of Flourishes Team sharing their "Black Accents" inspirations with you!  Take a moment and leave some love on all of our designers' blogs.

Allow me to now share with you my card created with this ever-so-glamorous set!

 

Isn't this image just beautiful? I stamped her with VersaFine Black ink and heat set it before coloring her in with Copics.  Once colored in, I cut out the image using Flourishes Perfectly Pierced Classic Window die set and sponged the inside with Antique Linen  Distress Ink.  I used MME's In Bloom collection for the dp and followed last weeks Mojo Monday's sketch.  I finished the card by using some yummy Wrinkle Edge sheer ribbon from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and adding a pearl stick pin and two pearls on either side of the sentiment.  Here is a closer look of the image and hopefully of some of the sparkle from the Spica pen used on the plume and sentiment.

 

So, now go blog along to see all the other designers glamorous creations and have a chance to win the entire May release!!! Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a glam day!
