Flourishes Friday!! - Beach Sets




Happy Friday and this is my 1200 posts! Yippie!!

It is time for another Flourishes Friday! Today, the Flourishes Senior Design Team has a treat for you focussing on two beautiful summery sets: Beach Life, Seaside Life, and A Guiding Light because we know that this time of year makes you long for those cool ocean breezes.



I used one of the shells and sentiment from Seaside Life. The image was colored with Copic markers and adhered on the Teresa Collins Summer Stories paper pad, that was die cut with Tailor-Made Classic Keyhole die set. The sentiment was also die cut with the same die set. The rest of the card was designed with Classic White cardstock, CME Emerald Coast cardstock, Rich Browns cardstock and the same designer paper pack. To finish off, I embellished with CME ribbon Emerald Coast/Paradise Aqua with CME ivory button and ivory jute twine, and rhinestones.








These projects are the ones I made in past :)

FLLC Free For All Friday (June Release)






Happy Friday everyone~

It is time for another Flourishes Free For All Friday!! Today, the Flourishes Team are excited to show you one more look at the June stamp Releases.

For my card, I picked Picking Wildflowers set. I love this gorgeous bouquet of wildflowers and had so much fun with picking colors and coloring :) I designed the card with Classic White cardstock, CME Terra Cotta cardstock and the beautiful Teresa Collins Summer Stories designer papers. The image was colored with Copic markers as usual. To finish off, I embellished with the lace trim, CME ivory ribbon and enamel dots.









I hope you liked my card.

Flourishes June Release - In Nature

Happy Wednesday everyone~

Welcome to Day Two of Flourishes June Releases! We're thrilled to show off more nature-inspired offerings for you today. One of the things that makes summer so special are those tranquil moments spent in the outdoors. Think of those peaceful places of recreation or solitude away from the hectic schedule, celebrating the beauty and restoring power that nature has. Today we bring you...


  InNatureGraphic 


You can feel the solitude in this beautiful and earthy set penned by Lauren Pope. Whether it's catching the great outdoors by canoe, or sitting by the lake front cabin, this set delivers a serene dose of nature. This 4 by 6" set offers two main images plus three beautifully scripted sentiments. Images are great for nature lovers or even for the men in your life!

For my card, I die-cut the kraft cardstock and made the scene show from the opening. The image was colored with Copic markers. I kept the minimum embellishments for the clean and simple style so your eyes draw to the image and sentiment.



The rest of supplies: Memento - Tuxedo Black, Classic White cardstock, Color Made Easy cardstock - Pistachio, Terra Cotta, kraft jute twine, ivory button, Perfectly Pierced Victorian Oval die, Spellbinders die, embossing folder
