Flourish of Thanks


This card is the second version of the original flourish-y card I made for this week's Less Is More challenge, which is to make a one layer card with a flourish.  I was so happy with the first card I came up, but it ended up with very little white space, so I went to plan B. I'm not sure whether my double embossing looks weak or wonderful. I probably should have applied the black over white but would have had to switch the images. I had to laugh when I uploaded it and saw that it has the same color scheme as the LIM header, which is pretty flourished!

Thanks for coming by to take a look. Have a wonderful day.

I think it's lovely the way it is! The white is a lacey look over the wood and black. The edging is a perfect final touch!
