A classic flourish

When it comes to finding a classic accent for a scrapbook page, card or other paper craft item, you usually can't go wrong with a good basic flourish. In the past year or so we've introduced a number of flourishes, and I would have to say that our Flourish #1 die is what really showed us how much interest there was in these decorative shapes.
This beautiful flourish comes in both a small (3" wide) and large (5 1/4" wide) size. Now let's see some sample projects...
The Bare Elements Live, Laugh, Love Train Case uses both sizes of the flourish. It's a nice effect to sand the edges of the die cut to add some character.
The Save the Date Card below uses the small size flourish. It's a perfect fit for wedding invitations.
And here's a 12" x 12" page, Love of My Life, that uses two large flourishes.

PS: Have a good weekend... We're working on a step-by-step tutorial of a couple folding techniques to use with your dies so make sure you stop back next week for that!
Perfect flourish die! It obviously looks great with so many different styles!

I am so sorry that my comment came up Three times. I don't understand why it did that. Please disregard two of them and this one too! I tried to delete two of them before posting this one, but there was not any place to delete them. I honestly don't know why it did that?!????
I am soooo sorry!
