Best Wishes Day 2

Fancy day today. Well actually this set is called Fanciful Flourishes. Oh so many options for this set. I am really excited with all the images in this set. I have this long and tall card first. I used the elegant heart in the set for a wedding card. I cut out some Spellbinders labels 13 for a project and then as usual I see the cut outs as windows and use that as a panel. I added some jewels to the insides and voila. The hearts edges are folded out and its up on a dimentional.


My next card I thought more springy and whimsical or I thought at least with the pinks and blues of the Basic grey Euphoria paper. I stamped the image along the side with a few jewel accents and the sentiment in the center. The white silk ribbon really makes me smile.

Flourishes Sneaks day 1

Today is day 1 of Flourishes Sneak Peeks of the April release. A little bit of details for you. Our Power Hour Release Party is this Friday at 9 pm Central time in the SCS Forums. Come enoy the fun, games, prizes and more sneak peeks for you. Its a great time to chat and have some fun, hope you can be there. All the sets you see will be available at 10pm Central time after the Power hour release party. We have a chance at winning the sets each day by commenting on the Flourishes Blog. We will draw all the winners on Saturday. So sit back and enjoy the sneaks!

This is the beautiful Around the Arbor set below and above. I used the arbor as the focal point and added a little bit of ribbon to the top. I really wanted yellow roses so I got some of the basic grey dp for my colors. I like the framing with the spellbinders label on this too.
Below is the lattice in the set that I stamped along the edge and colored with copic collections Sky, Spring greens and Flesh tones. I added some double sided ribbon with the Finishing touches slider to the side. Very simple but oh so pretty I think. All these supplies are in the Flourishes store.

Below is using the new set called Hats off to you. This is a wonderful graduation set that has a variety of images for you to choose from. I went with the key and one of the sentiment for a girly graduation and I think non-tradtional style. I sponged around the frame after I cut it out with the spellbinders label 13. I used some pink crochet ribbon. Added a few primas and pearl centers.

I don't do these size caerds enough either it seems.

Over on Flourishes Blog today Laura is doing some fancy paper piecing for you. be sure to check out her beautiful creations. And the girls creations today: Christine, Cindy, Dawn, Julie, Laura, Leslie, and Danielle.
As you can see from my card I did not paper piece, I did some Reverse masking with my spellbinders label 10 . I used the tulip from the Thank you set and sentiment from the Angelic love set. Simple card really, scored and ran the edges through with the swiss dots folder. Tied on some ribbon and done. I just love all this white. Not that anyone is suprised I'm sure. lol
