Ready for a peek at the sneaks?

With February's sets, Flourishes is ready to melt off the snow and usher in some beautiful botanicals and sets that really deliver a dose of spring! Are you ready to get a peek at one of our two new sets?

Introducing....
Hello Hyacinth Graphic

Hello Hyacinth offers two beautiful images featuring Hyacinths - one is a gorgeous blooming bulb - the other is a hand tied bouquet so sweet that you can almost smell those flowers in bloom! This set, artfully drawn by Marcella Hawley, also features a dozen beautifully scripted sentiments to use for all occasions! Would you like to win this set? Simply leave us a comment here over on the Flourishes blog!

On to my creation!

Because this beautiful hyacinth is rather large in size, I wanted to keep my layout simple. So, here goes... I colored with Copic markers using the Spring Green, Flesh Tones 1 and Peony Collections and then highlighting with BG000 and BG0000. Add the sentiment - also from the set, a scalloped edge, some bling, a fun button, 1/4" silk ribbon and some pretty crochet lace and that's prett much it! Viola!

Wonderful card. I love the lace and bit of stitching on the side of the image as well. Beautiful colors.

Lovely! I like that you kept the roots white, I didn't even look at how they usually are until after I had colored them green. Such pretty accents too Julie. A perfect spring card.

Glad to hear the good news on your pup too!
