Hello and happy Tuesday!
It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC180) !! Allison is challenging us to use the Flourishes gallery and case (scraplift) a card. Make sure to credit & link the card creator ;) Please visit Flourishes blog for more information about the challenge.
For my challenge cards, I was inspired by Stacy Morgan :) I was in need to make a few sympathy cards quickly and this beautiful card (click to see) was just perfect to case.
I used Calla Lilies set and the image was stamped with off set on the classic white cardstock with Memento tuxedo black. It was colored with Copic markers and the edge of the panel was sponged with Memento summer sky using the blending tool. The card was designed with cardstock and Prima Meadow Lark designer paper. The sentiment was die cut with Tailor Made classic keyhole and the woven iridescent ribbon was attached to embellish. The gems were dressed to finish off the card.
For the other card, I flipped the card design and used the colored card front.
Copic colors I used for this project:
