Hi all and welcome to the 5th Challenge in Flourishes 6th birthday celebration. Today the entire Flourishes Design Team is jumping on the birthday band wagon and helping Flourishes light the candles and roll the music to celebrate SIX fun-filled, creative years! Today's challenge is all about the right recipe for your cards. So, all you need to do is check out our recipe card below and make sure you use all six items. We're calling this challenge -- The SIX for SIX -- six items for six years!
Can you believe I used this green cardstock? I am still in shock myself! I have been trying to step outside my normal comfort zone and use things that I wouldn't normally use. That, and I was all out of that pretty peachy colored cardstock. Ha! As you see below, I decorated the inside. For years, every time I would make a card and show it to my husband, he would open it up and look inside. He finally said one day that he didn't know why he did that because I never decorated the inside. WELL....to his surprise one day, he opened one up and it was all purdy on the inside as too! ;)
So, without further ado -- the recipe!
HOW TO PLAY: Like we said, simply use the six items as your recipe for your card or creation. Make sure to use the sketch and be inspired by the colors in the inspiration photo and then, use the other four items as well when you create. This Birthday Celebration Challenge is just that simple! When you are done with your card, don't forget to link up your creation HERE using the Inlinkz widget! For Birthday Celebration Challenge #5, enter as many times as you like. If you upload to Splitcoaststampers, use the keyword FLLCBC5. You have until 11:59 PM CST on July 31st to enter! Winners will be announced Saturday, August 3rd and winners will receive a goody bag from Flourishes valued at $30! There’s a whole bunch of fun scheduled for Flourishes 6th Birthday — if you want a peek at all the challenges, just click HERE to see! Now just as I said, all of our fine and fabulous Flourishes designers are playing along in this one, so be sure to hop on over and see what these ladies have in store!
