Flourishes is lighting the candles and getting ready to sing to honor their fourth birthday!!! And, as a way to celebrate, I'm happy to say I was handpicked to help them have a bit of a party as a designer for their customer appreciation hop! The only challenge here was to create a card or project using my favorite Flourishes stamp set. Read on and I'll tell you how you can win some Flourishes goodies, too!!
It was hard for me to pick my favorite Flourishes set to use (because pretty much all of them are favorites!!), but I decided to use one of the very first Flourishes sets I purchased,
Sweet Peas. I wanted the Sweet Peas set from the moment I saw it and it continues to be a favorite of mine to this day. The sentiment is from the Flourishes set
Sweet Violets. For my card I used some new Authentique papers from the 6x6 bundle "Uncommon". I stamped the image and colored it with my Copics. I then die cut the image using two Spellbinders dies (a plain circle and one of the Floral Doily dies). The two dies were then layered as you see. The card layout is courtesy of PageMaps and a challenge they currently have going on where you can win five Flourishes stamp sets, as well as five 6x6 Basic Grey paper pads.
So... want to know what you can win from Flourishes... well just take a look at this fantastic blog candy treat:

Awesome card!!! Love how you layered the flowers with both a circle and the doilly layer!!!
Love the layered images and the shabby look. Great coloring.
Hello Rosie,
We heard on the news tonight that Washington had an earthquake, I take it you are OK?
Your card is glorious, I love how you have made your centre circle the focal point of the flourishes image, and your flourish of pearls, just finishes your card beautifully.
Take care my friend.
Smiles:)
I love your card and the pearls are just taking my breath away!
Fabulous job of layering and cutting the flower. Beautiful card!
Simply STUNNING! This is so gorgeous...love that sketch and love what you did with that wonderful sweet peas image! I like the Sweet Peas set, too...Sweet Pea is my hubby's nickname for me...well, now it's been shorted to just Peas most of the time, lol..

Oh so pretty! I love the way you cut the center out and popped it up. Very clever. All the bling dresses up your card beautifully. :)
Hi Rosemary! This card is SO beautiful - love all of Flourishes flowers, too, and sweet peas are a favorite because we can't grow them here - too humid and hot, I think. LOVE how you incorporated them into this sketch! Beautifully done!
