Thinking of You! Flourishes FTTC49 and SCS CC253!







It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC49)! This week Silke Ledlow is hosting. Silke is challenging us to a sketch she has designed. As far as sketches go, there is not much explanation necessary. You can turn it and enlarge the sections to fit your card size. However, in the end, it should still look like the sketch. Good Luck!!!! Looking forward to seeing what you create with it!!!

For my card I am giving you a sneak peek at a new Flourishes set to be released at the SCS Forum Friday night. I am using Flourishes Thinking of You and Falling Leaves stamp sets. The new set is called Lace Edges. I stamped my entire background using this set. I just love the many different lace edges and shapes that come in this set. I chose to go with subtle detailing for my background this time and used pretty in pink ink. I sponged the edges with some Ranger antique linen and vintage photo inks. I finished my ard with a chocolate bow, gold cording, and gold pearl accenting!


This card is also for today's SCS Color Combo Challenge (CC253)! We are using Pretty In Pink, Chocolate Chip, and Rich Razzleberry. This week's dessert option is houndstooth print or texture!
