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.
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).
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.
A Lavish Flourish stamp along with Versamark and White
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 
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".
