Today I was playing with the "Flourishing Phrases" and "Flourish" Thinlits. I thought I'd make a sympathy card. I like the way the font was and I liked how it fit so well in that bottom corner.
My focal panel measures 5" x 3-3/4". I cut a piece of scrap card stock 2-1/2" x 3-3/4". I centered it on the focal panel piece and traced around it with the Basic Black marker. Then I stamped the wording. I cut the flowering part out of Basic Black card stock and glued it in place. I like to glue the easy way. I take a piece of waxed paper and spread some white glue on it. I fold the waxed paper in half, smoosh it together and then open it. I set the image to be glued on top. I light ly press the card stock areas with a toothpick and then remove the image. I set it place and check to make sure there's no glue showing. I remove any excess glue with a toothpick. I taped all the layers together and it was done.
For the final touch I added pearls to the flourish. As simple as that!
Thank you SO much for stopping by today,
Wanda
