The flourishes are Autumn Leaves Flourishes v2. Prima flowers from the essentials in Make Me Happy. I used Nick Bantock Ink, which is my absolute favorite of the little stash I have.
The colors for the ink are Cerulean Azure and Damson Plum. On the white gloss cardstock, I did something I've never done before and sponged the colors towards the center of the card. Then I took a blending pen, and pulled the color in. I also used the swirls embossing folder for the leaves I cut out, then brushed them gently with an Opalite Ink pad in Nordic Ice. Ain't she purdy!
