All a BUZZ!

 Flourishes is all a buzz today! Why? Well, today marks a brand new release and boy, are you going to love what they've got in store! Today all the Flourishes designers have peeks of two new sets -- one to make sweet creations and a beautiful background that is a perfect companion! Want a peek?



This beautiful and fanciful set offers a sweet look at a honey of a life as a bee. Illustrated by Marcella Hawley, this set features three main images plus little bees which serve as accents along with five fun-filled sentiments.

And, here's a look at the coordinating background!


While this whimsical background is perfect for any one of Flourishes botanicals, it was created with our new set, Bee My Honey, in mind. A gorgeously watercolored honeycomb background artistically drawn by Marcella Hawley has been put on polymer to add a beautiful accent to your stamped creations!

On to my creation!

I just love this new set. All, and I mean ALL of the images are just too darling for words. My favorite is image above -- some clover and wildflowers surrounding by buzzing bees. It's just to whimsical! To create my card, I stamped with Memento Black onto Flourishes Classic White and colored with Copics using the Crocus, Spring Greens, and Daffodil collections grouped by Flourishes. I then highlighted with marker numbers B000 and B0000. Add some glitter glue and... you're ready to mat it all up! My paper is a mix of My Mind's Eye and Sweet Threads by Basic Grey. My sentiment was matted on some punched layers and then again on a die cut shape from the Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio Three set. I also used the Spellbinders Labels One (both cut from my Grand Calibur!) Add some bling and ribbon and... done!

Here's a close up!
