Flourishes December Release Preview ~ Day 3

Well, we’ve arrived at our last day of December New Releases at Flourishes! Haven’t they been true blossoming beauties? Today, we’re pleased to bring you one more! It’s an all occasion set that celebrates some of the most delightful events with wonderful playfullness! This stamp set is called Lots of Thoughts for a reason! With six whimsical images illustrated by Marcella Hawley, you have just the right mix of sentiments for birthday, congratulations, thank you and cards of encouragement. It's the perfect set for any and all occasions! Set measures 4" by 6”. Ideas are blooming plentifully in our design team creations with this sweet set.

I love hot air balloons, and have even ridden in one a couple of times over Lake Tahoe in Nevada.  It's an experience I treasure and will never forget.  I also love the sentiment "You Lift Me Up?" So this was a "no brainer" for me.  I colored two balloon images with Copics and then set to making my sky background for them.  I thought the splotchy background from the So Distressed set would make beautiful clouds.  And so it did!!  I used So Noted, decorative paper, by Carta Bella for my base, and some Spellbinders dies as well as some Enamel Dots and Viva Decor Pearl Pens to dress it up.

Here are a couple of close up's, (one without all the extra elements) so you can see how great this image is for clouds.

Here are the links to the Copic Collections I used:

 

 

 

Don't forget, while you’re hopping and looking at their creations, don’t forget to try to figure out who the Mystery Blogger is.  Hidden among the Design Team’s blogs today is our last day of Mystery Blogger.
