Flourishes October Release




Well dear stamping friends, the sneaks are over and we're taking the lid off Flourishes' October Release! Are you ready to see all three of these sets in their full glory? Well, they are all live, right now, in the Flourishes store HERE!

Now on to our final offering, one that is a gorgeous display of botanical beauty!  It's called Star of Bethlehem and is named after the stars that lit the way for the birth of Jesus.  This beautiful star-shaped flower embraces a meaning of purity, hope and happiness. Illustrated by Marcella Hawley, this set offers a beautiful and sweet scented way to ring in the Christmas season. This 4 by 6" set also offers four scripted sentiments perfect for your seasonal creations!

I used the circular image in this set to create an ornament using the 2013 Heirloom Ornament die by Spellbinders.  These flowers are white with a brilliant green center, so I just highlighted them using the following Copic Markers:  T1, T7 (centers),  YG11 and YG13 for the bud in center, Y06 and YG13 for the stamens.  I then added a bit of sparkle using a Quickie Glue pen and some Prisma Glitter. 

I used Palo Verde cardstock, from the Evergreen Color Made Easy collection to mat the sentiment and the back panel, and lastly, I sewed around the borders and attached a little sentiment flag to the bottom with a Library Clip.  That about sums up my card for today.  I hope you've been inspired by all the previews.  I know the other DT members have inspired me with their creative projects.  For more inspiration, check this out:

Flourishes is also unveiling something else...... just in time for Christmas!
