 Hi all and welcome to day 1 of Flourishes' fabulous sneak peeks and PLUS you'll get an opportunity to WIN our entire new June release just by playing along! For the remainder of this week we will be sharing our newest stamp sets with you! Aren't you excited?! I sure am! Since Sneak Peek Day 1 overlaps with the Timeless Tuesday Challenge, we have some amazing projects showcasing our newest beautiful floral 
stamp set by Marcella Hawley called Picking Wildflowers.


I used the center step card for my post today.  There are several you tube videos for this card shape, just type it into the bar at the top and they will pop up.  I also Googled butterflies and found one that looked very similar to this one.  It kind of looks like a moth to me but it's antennae gave it away and led me to believe it is a butterfly and not a moth.

June release challenge

June is such a beautiful month! At least in my neck of the woods it's full of green, and blooming outdoor colors and textures. In just a few short days we'll be unveiling a new round of stamps at Flourishes inspired by the outdoors. We're really excited to show them to you. So today, we're challenging you to be inspired by the TEXTURES of nature!


I didn't have a folder with wood grain so I used paper behind my stamped image that is wood grain and the ribbon and twine give me card a little texture.

 SUPPLIES USED:
HOW TO PLAY: Create something with an outdoorsy texture in mind - or use an element from nature as part of your design. It could be the texture in an embossing folder that has woodgrain, leaves or vines, it could be a leaf rubbing behind your image, something glossy like rain or shiny like a berry.

You are one of my favorite things

I just wanted to pop in real quick and share a card for one of the ladies at school.  Tomorrow is the last day of school and I wanted to let her know how much I have enjoyed working with her this school year.  She is super sweet and is always doing things for others.  I also baked her some yummy cookies to go along with the card.  ;)


As you can see my MFT Blueprint die-namics made this very easy to put together.  I am in LOVE with those things,  I am hoping they add to the line.  The LJD Roses and Leaves are great for a quick stamp.  Below is the inside of the card.
