Flourish Cards

Hello to you all. Shanna here with some cards to share!

I really wanted to play with some flourishes! I used two small ones and there are also large ones in the store as well.

So for my first card I used the heart doily from the Cardstock Doily Set Intricates and the Layered Flourish Chloe - Small.

For the second card I used another Cardstock Doily Set Intricates and the Layered Flourish Renata - Small.

The chipboard got a coat of gesso and then I the top part of the flourish I went over with chalk ink for a soft pastel look. I cut out the hello with my cut machine and finished the cards off with flowers. 

Making quick fun cards with my chipboard pieces is really fun and a great touch to give to anyone. 

Items Used:

Layered Flourish Chloe - Small

Remember the Journey

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a layout for Gina's Designs. My mother-in-law took this photo at Land's End, in Cornwall.

I had a lot of fun decorating chipboard, as usual! For the background I applied texture paste on a texture sheet, then sponged on gesso. I then painted with Viva Modeling Cream, then a little Lindy's, watercolors, and Twinkling H20s. I prepped all the chipboard with gesso. I drew some detail on the seahorse with a pencil, then painted it with brown watercolor. I added some gold perfect pearls. I took off some of the brown later with a wet brush, to give it a little more dimension, and put some more paint on different areas. On the gears on the upper right,and the flourish at the right of the photo I poured gold embossing powder on wet gesso, then heated it. The gesso made it bubble up for some extra texture.I dry brushed some Vintaj patina paint on top. I painted the gears at the bottom right and center of the photo with brown watercolor, I applied a layer of glossy accents and put the items on a pile of crushed up mica flakes. I topped them with some patina paint. For the title work I painted with twinkling H20s, then put on some Versamark embossing ink. I poured on chunky clear embossing powder and heated it. 

Thanks for looking, and I hope you find some scrappy time for yourself today!
