We are still hosting a Design Team Call for our new Mixed Media/Altered Art blog, please see the post here

 

Elaine is hosting our challenge this time around and she has chosen the theme 'Flourishing' so she would

like to see a flourish of some kind on your project, this can be stamped, die cut or even both!

 The top flourish is a cheery Lynn one(my favorite) and the botton one is  Marianne Design.

I added glittery embossed glittery flourishes to this explosion card made with papers from Craftwork Cards.

Vania

Fiona

For my card I have used a Woodware stamp coloured with my ProMarkers. My flourish papers are digi papers from Pink Petticoat. I have also die cut some flourishes with a Cheery Lynn "Fanciful Flourish" die.

Josephine

For my card I've used a sponsor's image: Daisy Fairy by The Stamping Boutique. I used a couple of Sizzix flourishes which I've decorated with daisies.

Julie

Sympathy Card, made entirely in Silhouette Studio

Suze

A very quick and easy card using the large flourish from Stampin Up's Baroque Motifs, sentiment is by Papermania and the butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch.

Lin

I have used a lovely digi from our Sponsor The Stamping Boutique called Daisy Fairy, along with various diecuts and a free embossing folder of daisies

Kimx

My card has been created using a stamped panel from my ,bits box', an embossed flourish background and a couple of Cheery Lynn flourishes covered in Frantage Embossing Enamel.

Carole

For my card I have used an image from our Sponsors, The Stamping Boutique, called Whimsical Bird. I have coloured it using Spectrum Noirs - and gone for a bright look!!
