Hello Blog and Stamper Friends,
Today all of the Flourishes Senior Design Team will be sharing luscious card focused on a delightful sweet Strawberries that are in high season everywhere around here. I love this stamps set and every time I make a card with the set it pleased me. Today I went for a dramatic look. What do you think of it?
I kept it simple and dramatic, though I think inviting. The image was stamped on Flourishes Classic White and colored with these FLLC Copic Collections
I cut away most of the white around the image, then colored the background with my Copic Mulitliner and Black Copic 100. I then glued it down to black cardstock with Zip Dry Paper Glue. I cut into the shape using Spellbinder die Labels Twenty. An embossed layer of White Classic cardstock using Houndstooth folder from Couture creations. A tiny border of red cardstock and I was a happy lady. I used a wired ribbon from my stash and love the look. I know that seam binding is all the craze and ties nicely, but I love great ribbons!
I will be busy packing today. I am flying to Brisbane, Australia, to be a part of the Scrapbook and Papercraft show ! I am a guest of X-Press Graph-X Supplies. This will be the formal opening of Flourishes to Australia. This will make our images widely available in Australia. The Scrapbook and Papercraft show will be held in Brisbane June 9-11. Stop by…I’d love to meet you! What fun!
Thanks for stopping in to visit today. Leave a comment…I read each and every one.
Ciao,
Gorgeous. How fun to come to the Flourish blog and find this set highlighted. I just stamped two cards with it last night. The set is still laying out on my stamp table and all of these great samples have given me tons of new inspiration. Guess it will be my “go to” stamp today too!!!!
Wow, Jan Marie! I couldn’t believe you fussy cut all of that and then coloured the remaining white on the image to match the background! It looks like you coloured all this on black! So gorgeous! Wonderful talent you have and so inspiring!
really striking card! the black just makes it pop. you must have a lot of patience to cut around that intricate image. have fun at the scrapbooking show.
Thank you for your comment. I love dramatic black ground so there is always a fussy cut till I get a new Scan -N-Cut
Verry pretty, Jan Marie! The strawberries are so striking against the black background!
Love how those strawberries pop on the black background! Gorgeous JM!
WOW, I would have never thought to put those strawberries on black but it looks stunning!!! And that bow!!! LOVE.

Hi Jan Marie,
Just wanted to say thank you to you and Mike for coming to Australia. I was able to do one of your make & takes. It was both fun & informative. And I now want to replace the art markers that I have. I hope you had time to celebrate your anniversary during your busy time.
Thanks for the note Tracy. Mike and I had a great time in Australia. It was a great but quiet anniversary. Thank you so much for your note it made my day!
