Flourishes and Swirls United for Stampendous Theme Week


Swirls and flourishes never get their day in the spotlight, but not only their day but whole week has come! A few of us designers are sharing cards that use these delicious stamps in a way that show off the amazing designs. 

So here's my wonderful little design. Seriously, I had no idea that this card was going to stun me the way that it did. 

I'm working away on samples, as are the rest of the team, for the next catalog (you are NOT going to believe what's coming.....squeeeaaaa!) and I have a piece of monoprint leftover and decided I'd make a new card for my post today.

I removed the static with one of those powder bags and just started stamping! What does one call those little magic powdery bags that isn't the brand name of another company product? Static Remover Sachet? lol Anyway, here's the project and instructions are below.

The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
