Beautful World Tour - Neutrals/Texture
Welcome to the June Beautiful World Tour, brought to you by Flourishes!
Each month the team presents
a themed blog hop, hosted by our group of international
designers... we are literally spread out all over the globe! At the
heart of our projects is
the idea of truly showcasing beauty in card
making – whether it just be in a beautifully colored image, a fabulous
way to incorporate an embellishment or a new twist on a card layout.
If you just happened on the blog hop today because you're a regular reader of my blog, and you'd like to view the entire hop, you can start back at the Flourishes Blog - you'll find a full list of participants there, and all the details you need. If you're already hopping and you arrived here from Iwona's blog, you're doing just fine.
The team is working with neutral colors and textures today. I pulled out an older set, Seaside Life - this was one of the first Flourishes sets I ever owned, won in a pre-release challenge. I love the detail in these shells!
I started by embossing the Antique Lace background with clear embossing paper on tan paper, then inking over the design with darker chalk ink. I used the same technique on the shells, but added some shading to them with an Inktense pencil.
Leave comments for all our designers and you could WIN A FREE FLOURISHES STAMP SET!! Comments will be accepted until the end of the month, and a random comment will be chosen by one of our designers - but we're not telling which one! The more comments you leave, the better your chance of winning will be.
From here you'll be traveling on to.........
