Hello and welcome to the Crate Paper Blog today. I created some stylish cards with the amazing new Flourish Collection from Maggie Holmes. When I received the collection, I couldn't decide what I love most. The papers, the lovely ephemera pieces, the stickers, the washi and glitter tape spools, the beautiful embroidered bird patch or the golden decorative trim - I just love everything about this collection. And I had a blast creating three different cards with Flourish.
First, I selected three different patterned papers for the base of each card. The cards are 4x6" in size. The embroidered bird patch is definitely the star of the first card. I placed the bird patch on a pre-made tag and added a piece of the decorative trim at the top of the tag and also some of the word stickers from the collection. I took great care to match the colors of the bird patch with the colors of the other embellishments and papers I used on the card.
On the second card, I started from the bottom and worked my way through to the top of the card. And I added different elements and embellishments from the Flourish collection, including the decorative trim, two strips of washi tape and the cool flag-like ephemera piece showing two swans.
The third card is really elegant and simple in its way. And I like the dark background paper against the blue tag and the lovely floral sticker. I also added some golden highlights to make the card look really classy.
I really like how the cards turned out and I can't wait to send these to some dear friends.
I hope you like my card inspiration with the brand-new Flourish Collection from Maggie Holmes. Have fun creating today.
Xoxo, Sandra
