Flourishes is lighting the candles and getting ready to sing to honor their 4th Birthday! And, as a way to celebrate, I’m happy to say I was hand-picked 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...I’ll tell you how you can win some Flourishes goodies too!
If you arrived here by way of Linda's Blog,then you are on the right path! If I was your first stop, you’ll want to go back to the Flourishes Blog to and start this hop from the very beginning!
Here's what I made to celebrate Flourishes 4th Birthday...
I have to be honest, choosing just one favorite Flourishes stamp set was pretty difficult for me! But, for the sake of this birthday celebration hop, I have chosen my 'go to' set called Seasonal Wreaths! This beautiful rose wreath is just one of four gorgeous wreaths in the set! You get a bunch of great sentiments too...like the one I stamped in a row across my card.
First, I couldn't decide on pink or purple, so I decided on both and I colored my wreath image with my Copics. Then, I decided to fussy cut all around it...and even in the center. Thank goodness I have good eyesight! The background is embossed with the Cuttlebug Leafy Branch embossing folder...just in case you were wondering. I added some wide pink ribbon and lots of bling 'flourishes'! (btw, I'm sorry that my ribbon looks crooked on this photo, but no matter how many times I adjusted it and try to make my ribbon look straight, it just doesn't want to photograph nicely at an angle, so I decided to stop messing with it and leave it be! I always say...it is what it is!)

Beautiful card, Pattie. I love the way you colored the roses on the wreath, and I can't get over how precise your cutting is inside it. You must have a very steady hand.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I agree your cutting is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteSimple elegance! Love your card...the embossed white background was perfect to make this beautiful image stand out! Congrats Flourishes on 4 FABULOUS years!
ReplyDeleteLovely card. I, too, am amazed with all that detail cutting! Beautiful design...so elegant...and your ribbon is beautiful.
ReplyDeletePatti, this is absolutely beautiful. I can't believe you took the time to cut the wreath out. I am too lazy. LOL :)

Such a beautiful card with the lovely image and pretty flourish!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Pattie ... love that BLING!!
ReplyDeletegorgeous card and you make that wreath look fabulous. I too had a hard time choosing a set to use...
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty. I also love that set. I do a lot of fussy cutting so I decided to try a craft knife instead. Once you get comfortable with the knife it is way easier than scissors. Oh I also meant to say I love the sentiment repeated across the bottom.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love that fussy cut wreath, that is not easy to do! And it was very clever of you to stamp your sentiment all the way across your card like that!
ReplyDeleteWow.. you pulled out all the stops with this one Pattie!!! That wreath is to die for and the layout and design -- perfection! You must have the patience of a saint to cut that image out like that and have it look so good! Want to come over and do that again for me??? :-) Thanks for helping Flourishes light the candles on the cake and celebrate in grand style! What fun!
ReplyDeleteThis card is just lovely, Pattie! I love the colors, the bling, the stamped strip across the bottom. Thanks for the chance to win some Flourishes stamps!
