I am sad to announce that this is my last month on the Flourishes Senior Deign Team. I have been with Flourishes since December, 2010. I still remember getting that email from Julie asking me to be on the Bring Back Beautiful team, and I graciously accepted. Since then, I have obviously moved up through the various teams to my ultimate dream, of one of Senior Designers. The time I have spent designing along side these fabulous ladies, I am honored to call my friends, is priceless.
Thank you to all of my followers for your support and kind words on my posts. I am not leaving the blogging world, and you will still see me around. Maybe just not as regularly as before. I hope you enjoy my last release as a Flourishes designer.
I wanted to keep the design simply, yet elegant. I chose you use a pretty, intricately designed Spellbinder's die for my card base and layers.
INTRODUCING....
Wisteria, Peonies and Bearded Iris -- all three of these flowers are favorites of Flourishes' founder and owner Jan Marie Caruso. Sentimentally illustrated by Marcella Hawley, these beautiful blooms honor the lady at the helm at Flourishes. Three breathtaking flowers paired with three beautifully scripted words and five accent words. This 4" by 6" set is sure to be one you reach for just to send creations to friends far and wide for any and all occasions!

Heather, this is absolutely stunning, gorgeous, elegant and I love it! I'm sorry to hear that you are leaving Flourishes, but I understand that sometimes other things have to come first.
Gorgeous! Love those dies.
This is beautiful, Heather!
Done in your beautiful style. Love the soft coloring and the beautiful ribbons. I think I am gonna love this set!
Such a beautiful card Heather! You have always done an amazing job coloring Flourishes images and bringing them to life! You inspired me to join the Timeless Tuesday DT with you way back when ~ thank you :) Surely Jan will treasure this card as I do all my beautiful cards from you :) Thanks for the inspiration!
Well you certainly achieved simple elegance with this work of art. Your wisteria is so beautifully colored and looks beautiful popped on top of your pretty die cut layers.
Heather, SO sorry you have to leave the Flourishes team right now--but sometimes that's just what is best for you and the rest of your life. You create such elegant cards, and I love your coloring too.
I wish you all the very best and hope to still see your cards when you have the opportunity to create. And when the time is right, hopefully you'll be back--anyone with your talent won't have trouble finding companies who would love your artistry and talent creating and showcasing their stamps. I'm sure you have made the right decision, not always easy though is it. What a lovely tribute to Jan and to her Flourishes stamps you've created as this final card for now--it's only for now!!!
Best wishes, Joanne
Yes it is simple, but elegant too. You have accomplished your goal. This is too sweet and the person that receives it will truly have a work of art.

Heather, what a Flourishes Flowers for Jan card to present as a stepping aside card. You are quite the smart lady to know when to let the mind and body have R and R for strength and good refreshment. Keep looking UP! mt23stamperatydc
Sp lacy and delicate feeling! It speaks "Spring" to me. I can almost smell the flowers! A stunning card Heather!
Let me catch my breath... this card is stunningly gorgeous! A dream! Your layering of the dies and the simple colors are the perfect backdrop for the wisteria. I love how you tied your ribbon across the top. There's so much beauty to take in here. I was shocked to read you're leaving Flourishes, but I can surely understand. It's a lot of work and can be hard to keep up with. I've always enjoyed your Flourishes posts, but I look forward to everything you post. I just want you to enjoy yourself and be happy!
Beautifully done...gorgeous shape....wonderful colors.....good luck in the next chapter of your life!!
