Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC32) and CC235!!!

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesay Challenge(FTTC32)! This week Cindy Haffner is our challenge host. She is challenging us to a sketch she has designed. As far as sketches go, there is not much of an explanation necessary. You can turn it and modify the shapes to fit your size card, but in the end, it should still look like the sketch. Good Luck!!! We cannot wait to see what you create!

For my card I am using Flourishes Rejoice and Waterlilies sets. I am using Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock and Flourishes Copic Color Collection in Water, Sky, Daffodil and Cool Neutrals. My goal when I set out to make this card was to use a Flourishes Christmas set to make a non Christmas card. I have been really wanting to use this color combo for awhile. As soon as I saw this angel, I thought it would be so beautiful to color like I added color to a black and white photograph. I really love how soft and serene the angel looks.

For my soft embossed background I am using one of the new Spellbinders Impressibilities Flourish. I love how deep and rich the impression is with this very delicate template. In keeping with the sketch, I needed to find a sentiment that would work. I ended up using the one from the Waterlilies set. I used one of the new ornate Spellbinders fancy tags for my sentiment. I stenciled my sentiment with the aqua mist and a touch of the smokey shadow ink. Love that look.

I added a Spellbinders pinking nestabilities to the top corner and layered with a cuttlebug swiss dot folder for some added texture.

I used one of the images in the Rejoice set to stamp a background panel for the aqua mist horizontal panel. I used aqua mist ink and sponged the edges to blend the look.

I added some silver cord that I threaded through the ornate sentiment fancy tags, silver and cream pearls, and ivory satin ribbon to complete my ephemeral design. It does have an old kind of dreamy quality to it to me. I love how it turned out! Which is why this sentiment works for me.

I interupt this blog post with another card! This card is for today's color challenge(CC235)!!! Thanks, Emily for some wonderful colors. This card is also for the Flourishes Feel of Fall sketch challenge.

I am using Flourishes Sweet Peas (for background) and Timeless Quotes for the sentiment. First, I stamped the large sweet pea image in old olive to create an outline background. I love this look and need to do it more often. I sponged ranger antique linen around the edges to soften. I layered two of the same EK Success border punches.

I used one of my new spellbinders impressabilities template. I now have two of these. WooHoo! One I used on the first card in this post and now I am using the Floral and Stone design. I love the deep impressions made with this delicate metal template.

I used a rectangle spellbinders and the swiss dot embossing folder. Next, I used a spellbinders label five shape to frame out the layered oval sentiment . All of the Flourishes classic ivory cardstock was sponged with ranger antique linen ink. (I must say that while this cardstock is fabulous for coloring with copic markers I am equally amazed at how beautifully it accepts sponge detailing on the edges. Wonderful product). The oval sentiment was stenciled. I added some ivory sheer ribbon to keep the colors soft and a layered flower with a halfback ivory pearl. I finishes with some gold pearl accents.
