Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday & 2Sketches4You

Hello.  I finally got some time yesterday to make a couple cards.  I ordered some new stamps from a company called Flourishes.  They have the prettiest stamps for coloring with your Copics.  I ordered them on Saturday and they arrived on Wednesday.  Now that is service I tell ya.  A lot of their images have a botanical feel to them.  Also, they are priced very reasonably.  I was pleased with the quality as well.  I guess I know who I will be ordering my stamps from in the future.
I made this card for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge and you had to use the theme fall and the colors orange,green and brown.  I used the sketch at 2Sketches4You.  

                         
This was the first time I ever had to mask and image.  The stamp is actually a Violet but scince I had to use orange, I made them into Pansies.  Everyone in the neighborhood is putting Pansies out right now.  I guess they last most of the winter here.  I added a couple of fall leaves to the bow.

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI/Rustic Cream, Spring Moss
DP: PTI/Bitty Dot Basics 2009, DCVW
Stamps: Flourishes/
Ink:Memento/Black
Ribbon: American Crafts
Leaves: Reccollections
Boadrder Punch: Fiskars/Apron Lace
Copics


Thanks so much for stopping by.  I will be back tomorrow with my card for Card Patterns.

    Gorgeous card, Heather! Your coloring is beautiful, and I love the fall color scheme! (Sorry if you're getting two comments from me... I got the dreaded Service Error 503 message that blogger seems to be giving me quite regularly now! grrrr.. ;))

    Heather, this is just scrumptious and so beautifully colored! Looks like you jumped right in with your new goodies! The different stamped elements are fabulous. I see you did some masking and the sentiment stamped over the leaves at the bottom of the seed packet is a realistic detailed touch! Fabulous and beautifully done! Thanks so much for playing FTTC!
