The Flourishes challenge this week was ATCs. Well, that's no problem - I was delighted to participate in one of Etha's Flourishes swaps earlier in the year.
For this ATC I stamped the cyclamen with Versafine black onto watercolour paper and coloured with H2Os. Drew the size of the finished ATC in pencil on my card, and then stamped a Rhonna Farrer flourish all round the edge with ColorBox Chalk Warm Green. I added tiny deep pink gems to some of the flourish ends. Trimmed down to size, wiped the edges with Versamark and embossed with silver EP.
Sorry, I've done my best with the photo, but one of the bulbs from my studio lights has gone :-(
I love cyclamen - I managed to nurse a small indoor one through seven or eight years, till the time came to plant it outside.

Oh so pretty, Sabrina, one broken light or not. Your coloring is spectacular and just as amazing is the reality that you've been able to grown this plant indoors! I used to have them all over my by in California, but they dont seem to grow in NC.
