Fancy Flourishes Card Recipe

This cute digi was printed on Georgia Pacific 110 lb Georgia Pacific paper.  I broke out the Copic markers and started coloring.  Initially, I drew some flourishes around the image, but I didn't like the way it looked at all.  So instead I fussy cut around the image.  I set about to look for my quilling tools.  They are in a wallet that I can picture in my mind.  But can I find it in my highly organized craft room?  NO - I cannot.  LOL.  I also have a tool that has multiple tips including one with the ball to use for giving paper dimension.  I know where that tool is, but do I know where the tips are?  NO - I do not.  So I took the clicker end of a pen and used that to give the flowers some dimension.  I found some paper with some pretty flourishes to use as the background from Simple Stories.  Now although I don't know where my quilling tools are, I do know where my bling is.  I pulled out those gems and glued them on as a final touch.
