With a Flourish

We want your projects to have a little flourish this week at Creative Knockouts.  We want to see your fun and fancy flourishes.  I can't wait to see how you interpret the challenge!

I used Spring Ladybug from Star Stampz and colored it with Copic markers.  My flourish is one of my favorite embossing folders, D'vine Swirls.  I used some Core'dination card stock and sanded off the top layer to expose the red core.  It gets a little messy, but it is so fun.

You have a chance to win 3 images from Star Stampz this week. You can click the badge below to pop over and do a little shopping.

Sweet Mermaid

Hello everyone!  It is the first Friday of the month and that means a new challenge and a new release at Sami Stamps.  The challenge is to use circles and Sami created this sweet mermaid for the shop.

I colored the mermaid with Copic markers and cut her out using the Silhouette.  I wanted her to look like she was floating in a bubble, so a circle die was the perfect choice!  I also used a Core'dinations embossed cardstock for the background.  I sanded it a bit so the embossed dots would look like bubbles too.

You have all month to play along with us, but be sure to use a Sami Stamps image to play along otherwise you will not be eligible to win.

I hope you guys run circles around us!
