Flourishes Grand Finale!

Hi all and welcome to the Grand Finale of Flourishes' November Release! The good  news? All four of their brand new sets are now LIVE in the store! So you can click HERE to see them all in their full glory! Today’s last hop involves a set that brings reverence to our holidays, with the birth of a tiny child...

Introducing....
   
The First Noel offers a peaceful look at the birth of a Savior in a beautiful silhouette form. Illustrated by Lauren Pope, this 4 by 6" set offers one main image, plus three sentiments that are coordinate perfectly.

On to my creation! I have to say, I love how easy you can create cards with Lauren's silhouette sets. You just stamp, and let the layout and the image do the talking!
To create this card, all I did was stamp my image on some decorative paper, cut it out, add some accents with the help of a white gel pen and I was almost done! I love the tag sentiment since it picks up the same feel as the star on the image. I used the Spellbinders Holiday Tags and the sentiment from Flourishes' Paperwhites set. Add some silver cording and a Sparklet (that I colored to match my paper thanks to some Copic markers) and... done! 

Here's a peek at the sentiment on the inside that is also a part of The First Noel set! 


And that, my friends, is it!
