Flourishes Sneaks Day 2: Passion Flower!

Hi all and welcome to day 2 of the fabulous Flourishes sneak peeks for July! Today's set is all about living with "passion!" Want to see how? Meet one of Flourishes' newest florals.....


Prized for its unique beauty, few plants have evoked the same wonder and curiosity as the Passion Flower. It's that whimsy and wonder that Marcella Hawley has captured in this set. this vibrant and fruitful vine takes center stage in this 4" by 6" set. It not only features three scripted sentiments but three smaller sentiments designed to fit inside our Flourishes Tailor-made Classic Tags Die set. What fun, right? Good news, if you like what you see on today's designers' posts, this set is available for pre-order now HERE!

On to my creation! When Marcella first drew this set, I was honestly stumped. I had no idea what a Passion Flower was and had never seen one in my life! I was told it was a "southern floral" and so, I went to Google to search it out. Want a peek at the "real thing?"

They come in too many colors to list so, instead of trying to figure it all out, I just went with pinks! After stamping with Tuxedo Black Memento Inks on Classic White Cardstock, I let my coloring begin....

I ended up using these Copic Colors...

I also added some paper piercing, THIS ribbon and did you see my tag?


I used the Tailormade Classic Tags by Flourishes! The fun thing about this stamp set is the fact that there are three different sentiments that were designed to fit in the tag die set. I love that. Why? Well, when you have a large image like this, it allows you to add a little sentiment without overpowering your main image!
