Fleur De Lys Theme - Mid Week Motivation

Hello everyone, it's Fliss here today with a bit of motivation for the Fleur De Lys challenge in case you're stuck for inspiration, although I have to say if you pop back for a look at the Design team creations you'll find plenty there too!

Hope you like my card which features some dry embossing with the Cuttlebug fleur de lys folder but I've given it a little makeover as you'll see.

I started off with a torn piece of vintage music score - it's well worth checking out charity shops for things like this as I got the entire score of The Mikado for £2.50! I inked it up with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink.
I stamped the Stampendous image with Archival coffee ink and added colour to the panel with pencils and inks.
I embossed a panel of card with the fleur de lys folder and then inked it with Spun Sugar and Crushed Olive Distress Inks. I then trimmed it to the shape you see above and then swiped on a little blue ink.

I can't wait to see some more of your gorgeous creations this week.
Hugs, Fliss xx

Paris Theme - Mid Week Motivation

Hello, it's Fliss here today with your mid week motivation for this weeks Paris theme and being rather inky from making my card for the challenge inspiration, I decided to stay that way and make a tag this time.

I've carried on with the warm Autumnal colours as the weather is rather cold and I thought we could all do with a bit of warming up lol.

Here's the tag I made before I added the embellishments:

I've inked the tag using cosmetic sponges with Distress inks in the following shades - Crushed Olive, Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade, Barn Door, Rusty Hinge and Aged Mahogany. I then stamped on an Artistic Outpost flowery flourish with the Crushed Olive.

I've then added an inked panel embossed with the Cuttlebug fleur de lys folder together with the flourished Eiffel Tower (Prickley Pear), an inked flourish and some stamped text.

As you see, simpler to make than the finished tag appears and hope you like it.
Hugs,
Fliss xx
