It's a Wrap!

Hi all! I hope you've enjoyed peeks at both of Flourishes new stamp sets! It was fun sharing these sets because I just think they are so classic. As Flourishes wraps of their Release Week, the DT is just showing off one more sample this week with one of the two sets.

So... here goes!
For this easy peasy card, I just stamped the daises and books from the new From the Desk Of set on watercolor paper and colored it up with watercolor pencils blending the color with a water brush, add in some twine, a button, some fun decorative paper (BasicGrey Eva and BasicGrey Manilla), a notebook punch, and a sewn edge. I did the name using the "From the Desk of" stamp in the set and then added my name thanks to an alphabet set. I also sponged on some Antique Linen Distress ink around the edges of my stamped image and the notebook style paper. And.... voila! Like I said, easy peasy lemon squeezy!
If you want a peek at the new sets, just travel to the store HERE! Don't forget about Flourishes' New Release Bundle - 10% off both sets! You have to hurry though -- this offer ends February 18th! And, if you still want a chance to win both sets, you'll need to check out The Winter Thaw Challenge - HERE! You have until today at 5 PM Eastern Standard Time to get those entries in! Flourishes will announce the winner tomorrow over on their blog!

Trust me, there's some serious eye candy over on the design team members' blogs! ! So, click on over and see......

This image is perfect with the paper punch you have on the side I think, great thinking! This is perfectly sweet.

This is super duper awesome, Julie! Your watercoloring is enviable and the design for this set with the punched edge and everything is perfect!

A+ - - well, it's got neat-o stitched down notebook paper, with awesome coloring and such pretty background paper, so you get a good grade this time. Looks like my weekend is going to be FUN - the taxes are calling and that stinkin' s-n-o-w has blowed up in the driveway AGAIN, so more adjusting for me (and that sweetie Jeff just worked on it on Thursday). C'Mon Spring!
