From The Desk

Good Morning Timeless Tuesday, Friends!!! It is another fabulous inspirational Tuesday with Flourishes :)
The hostess this week is Cindy, and she is giving us a really good challenge this week. It is called: From The Desk. Create notecards, a monogrammed card.....or make something from whatever you can find on your desk. It's that simple :)


Well, for me it isn't that simple, after every card I usually clean up my area because I can't think or create with a messy space. But I had an image already colored in, left over from the Release Week "Arts and Letters" Challenge that I didn't end up using, but hadn't put away. I also had some ripped diecuts laying around too, so I used all of these to create my card. Please don't look too close, I tried covering up the rips but they are still there.

For my card sleeve I used a punch that I punched along one side and then left a 1 inch space and then punched down the other side, so it would look lacy. I added the Spellbinder "Damask Motifs" in Kraft CS and a Spellbinder "Wings Of Hope" butterfly on top, then I added a couple of Kaiser "Pearl" pearls.


For my card, I used Flourishes "From the Desk Of" on Flourishes "Classic White" Cardstock, stamped in Memento "Desert Sand" ink. I matted that on a scrap piece of Kraft paper. I colored the flowers and letters in with the following Copic Sketch markers:
