He is Risen

Today is the day all of you bargain hunters have waited for! Prices are now officially as low as they can go in our Gambler's Sale at Flourishes -- meaning everything left in the store is 60% off. That's right -- EVERYTHING!

The gamble is over and now the rush is on to pick up anything left in the store that you've had your eye on.   Simply use the code GAMBLERS60 in the coupon box at the time of check out to get this fabulous discount! 

This year it seems Easter is late to me, how about you? Third week in April so I better get a move on cards. I am sure some of the girls at DH work will want some. My image is from He Is Risen that I stamped onto Classic White card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink.

Colored with Copic Collections:

Once colored I cut around the image and added dimensionals to the back.  I layered some white crochet ribbon down the center with some Color made Easy sunflower Primrose ribbon tied into a bow. My base paper is using Color Made Easy Sunflower and Crocus card stock. Added a few flourished pearls and voila!

 My husband needed a special thank you card from all the managers at his work and asked me to create one. I like when he asks for special requests.  :-)  The only requirement was purple flowers and that the thank you sentiment was on the inside. That was perfect for the Inside and Out Thank you sentiment set. The latest favorite is the new Wild Roses so I went with them for the flower. They are stamped on Classic White card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink.

Colored with Copic Collections:

I scored the panel they are on and wanted it at an angle on my base layer of Color Made Easy emerald coast card stock and Crocus. I layered onto the textured emerald coast card stock and wrapped some white lace trim around the middle with some Color Made Easy Crocus lavendar ribbon tied into a bow. Tied a button with jute twine and added some Candi dots for accents. Voila!

Birthday Wishes

With our wonderful world of savings going on in Flourishes Gambler’s Sale right now -  we thought we’d bring you even more wonderful ideas this week. We want to inspire you with things you might want to put on your shopping list before they’re gone!

This Sweet Nature stamp set is a classic and one I use often. My flower is stamped onto Classic White card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink. I used the large sentiment stamp in the set to create a background that I stamped onto Classic Kraft card stock using creamy brown ink.

My flowers are colored with Copic Collections:

Once colored I scored around the edges of my panel and layered onto Color Made Easy Poppy card stock. Layered my Classic Kraft card stock onto more CME Poppy and more Classic Kraft. Added a center strip of White crochet lace trim and Color Made Easy Poppy baby pink ribbon. My sentiment is from Botanical Bookplates Vol 1 set, then die cut using Perfectly Pierced Victorian ovals. Added a few enamel dots and some sparkles to the flower petals. Voila! Be sure to check out my Bunny Special news and Challenge!
