Sneak Peeks: the Wrap Up!

Hi all and welcome to the final day of Flourishes’ Release Week! And, guess what? If you like what you’ve seen on the designers’ blogs this week, I’m happy to report that all  of Flourishes’ new sets for May are in the Flourishes store!! Just click HERE to see for yourself!

Are you ready to see the last set being revealed today? It’s a set that honors those home sweet home moments!
Nothing says Home Sweet Home quite like this set from Marcella Hawley.  On the Porch features images you might see on your own front porch  with three vignettes and four scripted sentiments to share in all occasion cards and creations. Use this set to welcome someone home, welcome a new neighbor, share the news that you've moved or give someone a much needed atta boy!!

On to my creation!

When I first laid eyes on this set, I just fell in love with this charming little pair of glasses of lemonade with this delish pitcher. I knew right away that I wanted to create a card that was full of sunshine and.... I also knew that I wanted to add in a set that Flourishes released a while back -- Life, Love and Lemons! I actually stamped one of the little lemons on some decorative paper to give this card a little something extra! I used Memento Dandelion ink. After stamping my lemonade vignette on Flourishes Classic White, I colored with Copics and used these collections! 


After I was done, I matted up my image using a mix of BasicGrey Picadilly and Howdy Doody  papers. Add some fun matching ribbon, crochet lace and a button and... tada! And... here's a closeup!

Hi Julie,

This is such a sunny, cheerful and bright card! I love the use of the same tones of yellow throughout in the composition of this card and then the use of pink was such a delightful surprise, who knew that this two color would look so made for each other!
Thanks for the inspiration!
