Black Flourish

The camera is found! I had time over the  weekend to try out my new set Baroque Motifs. Sharon’s Stamp Simply challenge this week called for black accents so I embossed in black. The first card I did had the flourish on a busy patterned panel which I wasn’t totally happy with. My second attempt features a simpler sponged effect which I prefer. For both cards I cut my small white rectangle first and laid it on top of the large white rectangle before stamping the flourish in versamark. That way I knew the tendrils of the flourish would line up after matting the small rectangle.
