Cheery cherries

 

The image is from Flourishes, coloured with Copics.  The rhinestone edging is from the fabric store--I think it's meant to be edging for costumes or formal wear, but works on a card too!

Bearded iris

I've created yet another card using the colour challenge from Flourishes, I just love this colour combo, so elegant and eye catching.  

The image is from Flourishes, coloured with Copics.  White card stock is Neenah, as there was a lot of blending needed for the iris.

Musical Christmas

Background music was stamped from Hero Arts stamp using Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress ink, with accent Flourishes added to the background, the flourish being a Stamping Up rubber stamp.  Main image is Flourishes from the Petals and Peace set.  All colouring with Copics, the base paper is staples but I've used Neenah for the main image since in blends so easily with the Copics.
