BLUE FLOURISHES

I am in love with the Cheery Lynn Designs corner dies; not only do they dress up the corners of cards, but they can be combined to make beautiful designs. This is my entry for Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 19 - Add a Flourish. Even if the corners don't count as flourishes, the fanciful and tropical flourishes should.


I'm also entering this in the ODBDSLC100 Aqua or Topaz plus Our Daily Bread Scripture, Sentiments or Quote challenge. I used the verse from Joshua 29:11, a promise I cling to frequently, and part of ODB's For the Graduate stamp set.

Materials used:
Paper: K and C Watercolor Bouquet Blue Swirls

Just-Rite class sample

I teach classes at Beautiful Impressions in Westbrook, Connecticut. I’ve waxed so enthusiastically about the new Just-Rite stamps and dies that the owner Terri asked me to make up a class using them.  She put in a big Just-Rite order, so if you’re out our way, come in and stock up.  I could just keep making new samples continuously; the Just-Rite stamps and dies are so classy and interchangeable.



I had half a ream of light blue card stock (left from a large choir project) that I wanted to make use of, so instead of working from design paper up, I worked from card stock down. As a result, I broke my cardinal rule in making samples and used a single sheet of design paper that I had, because it was the only thing that worked for the blue and brown Happy Birthday card.  I finally located five more sheets – in Australia! – and ordered them.  In case they don’t come in time, I think I can make a substitute by using background stamps on the same blue cardstock and maybe highlighting it with a white pen. Crazy woman, there’s a reason for the rules.
