Sweet & Sentimental -- Day 2!!

Hi all! I'm back with day two of Flourishes Sweet & Sentimental release for March! Today is all about feminine flair - swoops and swirls to add a bit of elegance to your cards!

Introducing.....

It's the newest collection from artist Lauren Pope! I am thinking this will be my "go to" stamp when I just want to add a little something extra! Use the set alone, with a sentiment, or in my case - as a "frame" for another beautiful element!

I paired it up with another Flourishes favorite of mine... Stamp Simply Thank You.

I simply stamped my flourished frame as a mat to the tulip that I colored with Tombow Markers. Frame it up, add some bling, wrap it with some sheer polka dot ribbon and stamp the Thank You background down the left side with black ink. Just that simple! I just love the drama that these swirls added to this card!

Want to win this set? Simply leave a comment on today's post on the Flourishes Newsletter!

Now, it's time to check out all the other fabulous creations that our Senior Design Team has whipped up with this Ornamental Elements set! Be sure to stop by and say hi to Leslie, Christine, Cindy, Faith, Latisha, Laura, Stacy, Jan Marie, and Nancy.
