Hi there! What a great hop we had! Thank you to all that played along. It's time for (FTTC101)This week I'm your challenge host and my challenge is to go BIG. I love 5" x 7" cards so that is your challenge. Make cards that are 5" x 7." We can't wait to see your *BIG* cards!
There are some changes on the Friends Of Flourishes team! Our fearless leader Betty Wright has stepped down as our coordinator. We will miss her leadership! Lucky for US she is staying on the team as a designer!! Please welcome Tammy Hershberger as our new coordinator!! Welcome Tammy! I look forward to working with you again:)
Here's my card using my favorite Flourishes set Apple Of My Eye.
Cut a mat from red cardstock and adhere to the base. Cut a smaller white mat and emboss. Adhere to the red mat. Cut, emboss and stamp the Lacey Circle die with the sentiment from Life Lines. Stamp the Apple Of My Eye image with Tuxedo Black ink. Color with Copics. Cut out and pop it up as shown. Don't forget the bow.
Check out the wonderful cards the FOF have to share!
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the day!
