Gem flourishes

Hello everyone.  It's a very quick post from me today as I have had so much to get done before heading off to the NEC, and to be honest I am clean out of ideas right now.  So today I am going to share how I use the Bazzill Bling templates to make flourishes and swirls on my cards.
I have used Melinda Helping Angel from Whiff of Joy – it’s ages since I used her and must say that she is my all time favourite WOJ stamp.  I just love Melinda, she has the sweetest face I think.

This is so quick and easy to do.  I make up the card and attach the image so I can decide where I am going to place the swirl on the card in the available space.  Then take your preferred Bazzill template (there are quite a few different types, I have used the flourishes one) and decide where you want the flourish to be.  I tend to only use parts of the flourish and rotate and flip the template till I get a design I am happy with, marking with a pencil where I want to place the gems through the pre-punched holes in the template.
 
Then just pop the gems over the pencil marks.  I like to use different sizes and shades of the same colour if possible.  And there you have it, a really cheap flourish with no wastage at all.

Thanks for stopping by
