It's Flourishes Sneak Peek Week!


Hi all! It's sneak peek week at Flourishes! Yesterday, the Timeless Tuesday gals kicked off the first sneak peek of the new set Sentimental Christmas and a fun-filled challenge. Today, the Flourishes DT is showing off a brand new set and a super exciting addition to the Flourishes line up!! Are you ready? Flourishes now has custom dies! We are sure you'll love the elegant feel of what's on tap today!

  

Flourishes' newest set Petals and Peace  offers an elegant window into the holidays with a classic and beautiful collage of images ready to take center stage on your cards or creations -- an Amaryllis paired with a musical score and jingle bells or a bouquet of winter roses surrounded by pine boughs. Just beautiful!  Use these images with Flourishes' Tailor-made Classic Keyhole Template Die for a perfectly cut and embossed image every time! This set's sentiments even fit perfectly in the die set's word window!

   

These custom dies are manufactured by Spellbinders Paper Arts -- the best in the industry! Keep in mind, the new Classic Keyhole Template Die coordinates perfectly with our Petals and Peace set, but that's not the only stamp set we have planned to match this one-of-a-kind die! You'll have to stay tuned!

On to my creation! Since the Tailor-made die is something new, I wanted to show you all how easy it is to use! I stamped my image first on Classic White and then.... see how perfectly this shape fits inside the die? It's so easy to line up your art!


 From there, I embossed and picked up my Copic Markers to color my image up!

I used these Copic collections...



On the bells, I did add Y25 and Y28 to make the jingle bells look gold. 

After coloring up my image, I stamped, colored and cut out some of the holly leaves from the Doves In Holly set, added some metallic ribbon and secured it to my image with a glue dot. 

Add a sentiment stamped inside the die's word window, attach with some glue dots and add some sparkle with the help of some red rhinestones and.... ta da!!!

And that, my friends,is it! a nice wine tag adorning a bottle of wine that hubby and I can take to a friends' house for a holiday dinner!
