It's "Flourishes" week at Papercraft Star. I won a voucher to one of my favorite crafty supply stores, Simon Says Stamp, a while back and this cute little MFT flourish die was one of my item choices. I LOVE it!
My card is created on a base of Brown Kraft cardstock matted with black and cream. The image is from Just Inklined and I colored it with Prismacolor pencils and OMS. The edges are all inked with Vintage photo. I printed out the holly berry image from the "Christmas Squares 055" digital sheet from our sponsor, The House Across the Bay.
I cut it out with a 1" circle punch and layered it with three chipboard circle to give it some thickness and depth. I used a Brilliance Dew Drop in gold to edge the piece.
Hope you'll join us for this week challenge. You just might win some great digital sheets from our sponsor and/or one of our Top Spot awards. Link closes at 6:00 a.m. EST on Monday.
