Flourishes Focus–Irish Blessing

Pin It

Welcome to Flourishes Focus! Today we’re focusing on Irish Blessing. I kept my card kinda simple—I’m really liking the white with a pop of color that I’ve been doing lately. First of all, and using Classic White card stock, I trimmed my top layer and cut out the circle with a Standard Circle Nestabilities die, then made my decorative score lines with my Scor-Buddy (LOVE that thing!). Then I laid it in place on my card base and lightly traced around the inside of the circle with a pencil so I’d be able to stamp the image correctly. After I stamped, I erased the pencil mark and colored it up with these Copic Collections:

Green Grass Collection:

Robin’s Egg Collection;

Sunflower Collection:

Then I stamped a smaller image in the right lower corner of the top layer and colored it, finally stamping the sentiment. I popped this layer up on the card base with some foam tape. It needed a little something more, so I tried out some green Dew Drops. Didn’t really like that so I tried some clear ones. That was perfect; not too much, just right :)

And that, as they say, is that! Thanks so much for stopping by, and be sure to check out what the rest of the Flourishes Design Team has for you today.
