Just Because….

Often I need something, Just Because ! 

 

 

 

  Today is one on those days…….and just in time Flourishes released this new set Peony, by Marcy Hawley.  This card needed to be a very feminine card, with wonderful fashionable but classic lines…..of course I always like to add in some of the unexpected with the classics…so I have a wonderful shade of PINK,  it’s my Oomph!  And what could be more classic that black and pearls? 

 

So this card has all of those things and I think this card certainly falls into the Stamp Simply concept.

So How did you do that you ask…

I kept my focus very simple….and the card is simple to make.  I stamped the Peony stamp with the Hybrid Palette Glue Pad (clear) and then dusted it with the wonderful new Mica- Oyster from LumenArte.  My work was done! The wonderful pearl look can’t be captured on film, but in person this is a beauty that could steal the show!  These are new in the store at Flourishes and they are wonderful!!

 

I used another classic and feminine touch with the dotted swiss on white.  To get the long line I needed, I placed the folder on the long side of my paper and then moved it down and repeated the embossing process.  I repeated this process for the length that I needed.  I added a scalloped edge.  This I layered over the face of the card, but you’ll notice that I trimmed it and repeated the scalloped edge.  I added one more layer, but this time it is on the inside of my card…yes the Oomph! of this gorgeous shade, and one more slice to add to the scalloped edge. 

 

On the main focus I added another piece of this Oomph! Pink behind my peony layer but kept this layer really small.  A few pearls on the corners, a slice of pink scalloped ribbon, a stamped sentiment, a bow, and it is done.

 

 

Now, I think that’s a wrap, simply stamped, layers of classics, but not over powering and very definitely feminine….. Just Because !
