Flourishes 6th Birthday ~ Black and White Challenge


Well my favorite website Flourishes is about to celebrate their 6th Birthday and is kicking off the celebration with the first of several challenges.  The first one is to use black and white on your creation.  I had to think outside of the box for this one, as I love to use color!!  I used the Summer Blossom stamp set from Flourishes for this card. Knowing I had to have a little bit of color I used the spotlight technique for a touch of color!  Make sure to checkout Flourishes website for all the exciting celebration activities!

Timeless Tuesday Challenge #229 ~ Make It A Mini


Today's Timeless Tuesday Challenge at Flourishes was a fun one!!!  You were to create 3 small cards.  I really had fun with this one, using all Flourishes stamp sets, Botanical Bookplate for 2 of them and Autumn Blossoms for the third one.  I used copic makers to color all 3 cards, added some stickles, ribbon, pearls and rhinestones to finish them!

Flourishes Release Week



It release week at Flourishes and I just can't wait to see what they have for us this month!!!!  I always look forward to all the beautiful new stamps they release.  Be sure to stop by their website and view all the beautiful stamps, you want be disappointed.  It is a sketch challenge this month, I always love this type of challenge.  I used Blossoms and Butterflies stampset from Flourishes and for my sentiment I used Botancial Bookplates also from Flourishes.  I used Prisma watercolors to color my images, stamped them twice and cut out some of the images and popped them up on pop dots.  I cut the circle using Spellbinders circle dies and embossed with the Honeycomb embossing folder.  Looking forward to seeing all the new stamps!!!  Have a wonderful day!

MDSM 21 Challenge


Today's challenge at MDS is to use the sketch above and group photo boxes together.  I love to use sketches they are so much fun and designing is almost done for you!  I wanted to use this beautiful picture of my granddaughter, Alyssa.  I had seen a layout on Pinterest using this stamp set and it was just beautiful.  I thought I would like to use some of the ideas for my page. Not sure who to give credit for the inspiration, as I cannot find the post.  Hope you all have a wonderful and safe 4th of July!!!
