Flourishes Release Day is HERE!

Hope you've enjoyed seeing all the new offerings from Flourishes! I sure had fun showing them off! Today brings a sweet set that is sure to be perfect for those little pick-me-ups or for those kiddos in your life.

Remember the days when the highlight of the fair was a final spin on the carousel? When you had the wind in your hair as you reached for the golden pole with one hand and waved to your mom or dad with the other? This is the feeling that's wrapped around this new set called Enjoy the Ride by Lauren Pope. This beautiful 4 by 3" set features not only this vintage inspired carousel but six sentiments perfect for all occassions.

Now a peek at what I whipped up....
After stamping the carousel on some Flourishes Classic White, I colored with Copics and used the Water, Sweet Pea, Dahlia, Flesh Tones 2 and the Cool Neutrals Collections grouped by Flourishes. I then cut it out and mounted it on a circle that was accented with pearlized blue chalk and then matted it again on a pinked circle die cut shape (This one is on sale!). Add a punched border, some bling and a sentiment from the set stamped on a small oval punch and you're almost done! I also added some stitching too. The paper, just in case you wondered, is the new Memory Box Jubilee paper!

    Wow Julie...the horses are wonderful! We have a carousel here at Riverfront Park in downtown Salem, OR...all hand carved horses. It was worked on by local craftman and anyone could watch the carving progress. Very interesting...and beautifully done!
