You are Special

 
Today, the Flourishes Design Team has something special for you all! We decided instead of featuring a certain set or a certain challenge, we would just grab some of our favorite sets and... create! So, as you make the rounds today, you'll see a little bit of everything -- and hopefully it inspires some creativity in your own crafting spaces! So, grab a cup of coffee and relax....
Also, we have some BIG news for you if you are a bargain hunter! We had put our Gambler's Sale on hold over the holidays because there were so many different sales. Well, we've resumed it to try to further clear the shelves at Flourishes' home base. So now, many of our items on the Sale Page HERE are....
That's right -- 55% off! You will see some additional items on sale. As a limited time special, all Aquamarkers are 20% off. These water-based markers are fabulous to have on hand for coloring and water coloring - so if you need a water-based marker, now is the time to stock up!
On to my creations...Today I am using Inside and Our You along with the beautiful Mothers Words of Wisdom stamp sets. This floral wreath is one of my favorite wreaths, well I love all our wreaths we have so no surprise. I stamped the sentiment and wreath onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink.
My flowers are colored using copic collections:

The colors I choose are for the CR84FN Finale color challenge. I wasn't aware that Mona was going to have a finale with the challenge however I am glad I did get to play along in the few I did and this last one. Two Color Made Easy collections were used and they are Rich Browns and Emerald Coast.

My sentiment is die cut using our Perfectly Pierced Classic Window die set and then popped up on dimensionals. A few jewels under the sentiment to finish off the panel. The ribbon is from the Color Made Easy Sunflower primerose that is tied into a bow and then some ivory jute to tied my Emerald Coast dark Button too and voila! Turned out beautiful and springy I think. Be sure to check out the creations from the design team today:
