Pomegranate Peace
This a 5.5 square card I made using a new set by Flourishes, due to be released on Wednesday, 9/05. I just love the large Peace/dove image!!!I used Purely Pomegranate paper, satin ribbon and ink. I am so in love with that color!!! Not to mention the wide, luscious satin that SU now has available it is just the nicest, richest ribbon EVER!!!! I stamped the pomegranate paperin the same color ink with the Christmas tree boughs from a set also being released 9/05, called O Christmas Tree. The pomegranate paper ended up looking like velvet truly it does not sure if you can totally see that in the photo, but I was so pleased with how it came out.
The white used is Shimmer White. The background piece was Cuttlebug embossed with the snowflakes folder, then skimmed over with a Brilliance pad in Platinum Planet it just gives it such a nice, tone on tone, sheen. The Peace panel is raised up with mounting tape. I use the mounting tape made by Duck, in the area of Wal-Mart near the paint. It is on larger roles there than in the office supply section, and a bit cheaper that way! I use a ton of mounting tape!!!
A relatively quick and easy card, dressed up nicely with the satin ribbon, Cuttlebug embossing, a little Brilliance sheen and some edge sponging!!! The large Peace image is wonderful it allows you to make up a card so quickly!!! I will eventually have a link to Flourishes on my sidebar, but it isnt there yet, so for now, heres the link: www.flourishes.org.
