New Holly and Doves from Flourishes

This card was made using the new set from Flourishes, I just love this stamp set. I colored it with copics and cut it out, used nestabilities to frame it and some pretty DP and stickers to embellish it. The tag is a new one from Spellbinders also. I made this for the contest for those of us in the Flip group from Flourishes and the wall of fame.

Flourishes holly and doves

I thought the card on this blog was so elegant and beautiful I just had to try and case it. The card is done on white silk paper from the paper cut, and a beautiful cream from Flourishes, the stamps and ribbon are from them also, I just love their new Christmas sets! The corner is a M.S. punch and you can get the matching border punch also. Have you seen the new deep border punches of hers, Wow they are beautiful. The doves were stamped in memento black and colored with copics. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by

Easel card

This Easel card is so fun and easy to make, I found a tutorial somewhere on SCS. You just take a piece of 12x6 card stock, score it at 6" and then at 3" on the left side only. Then just fold it so you can attach the card front as I have done here. You will need a bow or a brad or something in the center to make the card stand up. The angels are from Graphic 45 Christmas past paper, same paper as the tall and long cards in a previous post. Just added some bling and a spellbinders tag with a peel off saying and punched out the scrolls with EK punch of the glitter paper.

My swap card for Sutter stamps

I particiapted in the fall swap on our Sutter yahoo group, I used mostly Sutter stamps and a Beeswax for the waters edge with some sutter rocks, the fishing boy is from Bad Axe trading co now owned by Stamping Sensations. The trees are decorated with the new autumn flower soft for dimension. Copics to color and airbrush the scene.

This little Angel is one of my new Sugar Nellie stamps from Funky Kits. I colored her with copic markers and framed her with one of the new Cuttlebug frames. Pale silk ribbon from Flourishes and some DP with M.S. snowflakes punched out of gold and a red gem in the center. Thanks for stopping by, hope your weekend is crafty.
