Flourished Thanks

This is my first card using Flourishes stamps. This image is from Figs and Pomegranates. I made it for the Holiday Challenge Extravaganza today, which was to alter an embellishment. I my Copic markers to color the brads as my altered embellishment.

I colored the image with Copics and cut it out. I also stamped and cut out an extra leaf to fill the card in more. The background is sponged with Bravo Burgundy ink and dry embossed with Birds and Vine CB folder.

I just inked up the "thanks" from the "give thanks" sentiment and then used my oval nestabilities to cut it out, backing it with a Basic Black scalloped oval.

The main image panel is backed by Basic Black and then Blush Blossom and the card base is Chocolate Chip. The upper left corner looked a little empty, so I used my EK Success flourish punch to punch out a Bravo Burgundy flourish for that corner.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!
