Whimsy Stamps - "Try It Tuesday - #2

Hi all, Madge here for the second edition of "Try it Tuesday" for Whimsy Stamps!

Don't we all just love Flourishes!  I'm guilty of not using them enough - or even to their full potential.  But I LOVE them, and they are so versatile and look so elegant and classy. 

P1010356

Here is a card from my archives. Most of my cards are made for a special person, this one was no exception - I found it really difficult to part with, but it went to a good and caring home.  (And is probably residing in a shoebox somewhere in storage).

One of the stamps sets that I absolutely adore is  "Lavish Flourishes, Rainbow Echo Designs"  

Today, I'm going to show you how to use those flourishes in different ways to get them onto your desk, inked up and ready to use for quick elegant cards.

    ~   ~   ~    ~

Do you love those fancy pearl or gem flourishes that come on a sheet of acetate ready to apply?  Think about stamping a Lavish Flourish onto card stock with Versamark or colored ink. 

Apply  glue to where you want to place your pearls or gems for the same, and more economical substitute.P1020087 copy

embossing powder can take your breath away when sponged with a color.

My sample is simple - but think of the possibilities.

 

Another quick sample of using a flourish is to mirror image P1020084 copy the flourish and separate it with a strip of paper or a knotted ribbon.

I've used cream and black for my sample.

 

 

If you feel you've been cheated this week not seeing an image card - I have used a Kenny K image called "Troublemaker".

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew
of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my
newest twitter updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for
quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your
new updates.

This is because this sort of substances relaxes your language and throat muscles a great
deal that they just can not hold themselves in their natural
position at night. This is important because when the causes are
known you can then find the best fitting anti-snoring solution, remedy,
or method that will surely curb the snoring. Snoring is not only dangerous, but it can cause certain stresses.

I am really enjoying the theme/design of your website.

Do you ever run into any browser compatibility issues? A small number of my blog readers have complained about my site not working correctly
in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any ideas
to help fix this issue?
