Flourishes Release Challenge

By now I guess you all know I can't pass up a chance to win Flourishes stamps...although my heart sank a little when I saw it was a shaped card challenge. ACK THAT'S HARD! But not only did I stick with it, I even decorated the inside. Go me!

Definitely a challenge to photograph this card, since it didn't want to cooperate by standing up.


Supplies: Flourishes' Dahlia stamps; Memento Tuxedo Black & Gray Flannel inks; Milled Lavender distress ink; Bic & Spectrum Noir markers; Mod Podge Dimensional Magic; classic small & lacy ovals; crochet mat by me


After colouring the dahlias, I added Dimensional Magic to the vases for a bit of shine, and lightly sponged the edges of the oval panel with Milled Lavender ink. 


For the inside of the card, I stamped the same dahlia image with Milled Lavender ink, and stamped the sentiment in Gray Flannel. I think that this card is going to head out to my little sister :)

This Flourishes challenge ends tomorrow, so still some time to give a shaped card a try! 

xoxo,
Jessi

Luckily, I had an hour of free time this afternoon and jumped at the chance to join in! Your gorgeous shaped card is just stunning! LOVE that you used one of your world-famous crocheted mats for the shape!
