Flourishes Friday - Free For All

Hi, everyone! It's Flourishes Friday Free For All! I have another card using the recently released April Showers set. Love this set--it's got so many possibilities!! I went CAS with this one. Love.

First of all, I stamped the sweet little umbrella images on Classic White card stock--twice. Then I colored them, cut just the tops out, and popped them up on the white layer with bits of foam. Then I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and over-stamped with the raindrops, stamped off once.


To finish it up, I matted it with black card stock, added some black bling in the upper left corner for balance, tied some black and white baker's twine around in a bow, and mounted the whole thing up on foam strips.

Be sure to visit my team mates to see what they have for you today.
Here are the Copic markers I used. And speaking of Copic markers, Flourishes just added nearly a dozen new collections! Check 'em out HERE!


Thanks SO much for stopping by!
