Flourishes Release...Take Care

Hi all and welcome to the final day of Flourishes’ Release Week! And, guess what? If you like what you’ve seen on our designers’ blogs, I’m happy to report that all three of Flourishes’ new sets for March are in the Flourishes store!! Just click HERE to see for yourself!



I am in LOVE with this new set.  We have some Magnolia trees here in Iowa, but they are not like the Magnolia trees in the south.  In AL we had a beautiful Saucer Magnolia tree in our front yard.  The blooms were the prettiest shade of pinky purple, then they open and are white on the inside.

Are you ready to see our last set being revealed today? It's a beauty with blossoms that are just about as lovely as you can get without being the real thing!


 Introducing...
Marcella Hawley's newest set called Magnolias features lush and sweeping flowers so sweet, you can almost smell their pure fragrance! This 4" by 6" set features a beautiful focal image, a corner floral piece and a border of leaves, allowing you to stamp and create accents in a whole host of ways. This set also features six touching sentiments perfect for all occasions.

The design team has done some stunning creations with this purely elegant set....
Would you like to win the Magnolias set? All you need to do is leave some love in the form of a comment on the blogs below! Why? You need to try to figure out…..



One of the ladies on our link list below will be picking a name from the comments on her blog post today. We don’t know which one it is… so the more blogs you leave comments on, the more chances you have to win!

With that bit of eye candy, you’ll surely want to see the design team's cards and creations in full color when you take a trip over to their blogs!

All challenges will close this Friday at 5 PM EST and winners will be announced Saturday in our Winner’s Circle blog post! So get those fingers inky and good luck!
