Simon Says Stamp and Show Me...

...A FLOURISH!

For other details, to see other wonderful creations, AND to enter your own, check out the Simon Says Stamp and Show Blog!

I chose to go with a card this week, and it uses paper and elements from the Parisian Anthology line by Pink Paislee, which I have had in my stash for quite a while.  It already has a pattern embossed on it, so I just simply inked over the paper to bring out the embossing.  I used the Elegant Flourish die to make a flourish for the background, and the Tattered Florals die to create the  flowers from muslin and crinoline.  The flowers were colored using Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Stains, and I added some Kaiser craft pearls for the centers.  A butterfly stamped on plastic using a stamp from Antique Engravings adds another little detail.
