Flowers are Always Beautiful

When I bought these quirky Carabelle Studio stamps, it was initially just for the  flowers  and  I've always thought they have an Art Deco look, so again I opted for a very CAS style for me.
I stamped and heat embossed with Gold EP and added a PaperArtsy sentiment.  I've coloured the main flower with Shaded Lilac Oxide ink and some Seedless Preserve on the other, along with Twisted Citron.
Now I just need to master the CAS style on white card as I always seem to get inky finger marks everywhere!

I am entering this at Allsorts where the theme this week is  Sentiment in Focus

Thanks for calling in,
Avril xx

Loving the stylish look on the black with gold embossing Avril and interesting to see how well the Oxide colours on back as never considered trying that, many thanks for joining in our 'Sentiment in Focus' theme at Allsorts challenge.

Oh Avril - your creation is so beautiful. I have never tried this technique but I think I am going to have to give it a go.
I have ruined some cards with inky finger prints, now I keep a wet wipe next to me where I can clean my hands. I also wash my hands several times. I love painting with my various inks and watercolors.
Once again, your card is gorgeous!

This is one of my favourite Carabelle stamps and I absolutely love how you created this card! I know exactly what you mean about the inky finger marks - any CAS card I make usually ends up being at least my second attempt!! Hugs,Chrisx
