Flourishes January Release Preview ~ Day 1

Hello all and welcome to a very special kick off to Flourishes' January Release! Not only are we ushering the new release in with a fun-filled Timeless Tuesday Challenge but we are showcasing a set designed to honor Flourishes' owner and founder: Flowers for Jan

Wisteria, Peonies and Bearded Iris -- all three of these flowers are favorites of Flourishes' founder and owner Jan Marie Caruso. Sentimentally illustrated by Marcella Hawley, these beautiful blooms honor the lady at the helm at Flourishes. Three breathtaking flowers paired with three beautifully scripted words and five accent words. This 4" by 6" set is sure to be one you reach for just to send creations to friends far and wide for any and all occasions!

Would you like to win this set along with the other two sets being released this month? All you need to do is play along with us!!! We have a special treat for you today -- two actually! First, in honor of Jan Marie and this very special set, Flourishes' Senior Design Team is joining along in this challenge to give you double the inspiration!  Katie Sims, our lovely challenge hostess this week has got a fabulous challenge for everyone this week...Create a SHAPED card.

I chose to work with the Wisteria image, and a diecut shaped using some Spellbinders dies.  I wanted a somewhat trellis or iron look to the background, so I used a trio of Spellbinders dies and layered them with dimensional tape.  I then stamped the Wisteria image 3 times, colored them with Copics, and fussy cut them.

Here's a closer look at the details.

 

Here's a look at the inside.

That's it for me today.  Now, as you hop around getting inspired on ways to "Get In Shape", don’t forget to try to figure out who the Mystery Blogger is.  Hidden among the Design Team’s blogs today is our Mystery Blogger of the day. Comment on her blog and you could be chosen to win today’s set! The more you comment, the better your chances of winning.
