Joy Is In the Air - Flourishes November Sneak Peek!



So, have you been enjoying the Flourishes sneaks so far? Fabulous stuff, right? Today is no exception, and its' a super fun set! Introducing Joy Is In the Air!


There are three different scenes you can stamp inside the snow globe, but I seem to be on a snowman kick lately so I used that one. I stamped the images (you stamp the snow globe and the scene images separately) on Classic White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with these Copic collections:








Then, I stamped the snow globe again on a piece of Clear Cover Card Stock with black StazOn ink and cut it out right on the stamped outline. To adhere it, I ran a thin line with my Quickie Glue Pen right on the stamped line on my card stock and carefully placed the acetate layer on top. See how shiny the acetate is. I love it!


For the sentiment, I stamped it on a tag cut with my Grand Calibur and one of the Spellbinders Grommet Tag dies and tied it down with baker's twine and buttons for accents. Now I have another Christmas card to add to my stash and it's mail friendly!

Be sure to check out the inspiration provided by the rest of the Flourishes Senior Design Team and a few of the Timeless Tuesday Challenge Team members. Remember, one of us is today's
