So.... here we go with day 1 and the new set called Birthday Celebrations!
It's a brand new set perfect for CELEBRATING!! And, we are celebrating because this set was drawn by a brand new artist for Flourishes -- Lauren Pope! She's joining the talented team with the artist you know and love -- Marcella Hawley!
For my card, I stamped my birthday image in Palette Noir ink and went to town coloring it with watercolor pencils. After I blended it, I stamped it again on scrap and cut out the birthday banner. The image was then cut out with my Labels One Nestabilities die from Spellbinders. Use a ribbon punch and weave in some ribbon, add some bling and then.... for the final touches - add some Crystal Lacquer to the balloons and Stickles and bling to the fun little cupcakes! So festive! Don't you think?
That was my sneak peek, but you'll have to travel to the rest of the DT's blogs to see more of Lauren's work in living color...

Oh Julie! This is fabulous! I love the balloons, banner and little cupcakes. I CAN'T wait for all the releases!!
I love this layout and the focal image is darling. works perfectly with the paper.
Ah, crystal effects and balloons so enticing for the young at heart! Then the cupcakes pop in flavorful images from an explosively delicious party treat of years past to accentuate the banner's message. Yes!
Very sweet! The image reminds me of children's book illustrations (but I'm not sure if I would have thought of that if I hadn't read the bio in the newsletter).
Great Card Julie. Looking forward to the new releases
