One last chance!

 

Hi all and welcome to the grand finale of Flourishes' February Release! Just a note!! You have 24 hours (or less) to take advantage of our their ever-so-special New Release Bundle -- a time when you can get all three of the new sets for February at 10% off, if you purchase them in a bundle. Just click HERE to check it out!

On to my creation! I needed to create a sympathy card so naturally, I reached for Flourishes' new set Calla Lilies....

This card is pretty easy peasy! Card tidbits: I stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Flourishes Classic White and then reached for a few Copic Markers. Since my lilies are white - the only real coloring is on the leaves! I picked up these collections...

I also used BG0000 to highlight the shading on the lilies and after I was done, I did add some glitter glue to the centers of my flowers to add a little more pizazz! Afterward, I paired this all up with some My Mind's Eye Paper. I used the Breeze Collection. I added some nice white cotton linen ribbon, a little bling and then I matted it all up on a Classic Oval Spellbinders Nestabilities Die Cut shape and matted that onto a shape cut from a Spellbinders Labels Eighteen,  (cut thanks to my Grand Calibur). And that, my friends, is it! 

To get ready for this big finale, the design team whipped up some beautiful samples with the newly released sets! You'll have to stop on over and see.....

Thanks so much for stopping by! TGIF! Kids have the day off so fun is likely to be had here in my neck of the woods -- hope the same for you! :-) I'll see y'all back here soon!

WOW! Julie, this is one amazing card! I love that you left the flowers natural, they really stand out. And the leaves are perfect. I need to get some Copics ( think that all the time :), and work on my skills. The whole of the card is amazing and I love that little bejeweled "broach" on your bow :)
