Stampin' Up (Joy), Unknown (to the world), Papertrey (flourishes). Cherry Cobbler ink, Lime Stickles
Stampendous Heart Flourish, Papertrey "Love". Versafine Onyx Ink, Clear Embossing Powder, Copics, Stardust Stickles
Two one-layer cards for this week's Less Is More #71 challenge - One Layer Card with a Flourish. Nothing too clever here (although I did make that big flourish on the Joy card using several of the Papertrey flourishes). It's hot here - so hot the clear stamps are pretty gummy. Yuck! Hard to think about Christmas, but I want to keep up with my church Christmas cards - I'm thinking this could be June's!
Eagerly awaiting the arrival (Monday) of my new firm-foam ink pads from Stampin' Up - the countdown's on! If you have them already, let me know what you think! Also, there should be a pack of the In Colour cardstock - looking forward to Moonlight Muse and Gumball Green - not so sure about the rest - what about you? Apparently part of my order is coming Monday, part on Wednesday (it wasn't that big, really!), so we'll see what new goodies I have for Tuesday's card!
Fabulous use of the flourishes on both cards!
