Let the Flourishes Sneaks Begin!

Hi all and welcome to the first day of Flourishes' January Sneak Peeks featuring three of the newest sets to hit the Flourishes shelves! We know at this time of year you are looking for love when it comes to new stamps and we have a little bit of that! We also have some trendy words to jazz up the fronts of your cards! So, let's get on with the show! First up, a set that packs a visual punch with inspiring and thoughtful words, perfect for cards of all kinds!

JustMyTypeGraphic
Just My Type by Marcella Hawley provides spunky sentiments that take the trend of fun typography and put it into words that you can use on your cards or creations. We're only showing you 2 out of the four in this fun-filled set! 

On to my creation!
This card honestly couldn't get any easier because it has a couple super easy things going for it. For starters, I decided to use the ever-so-trendy chalkboard technique that has taken the stamping world by storm. I stamped my sentiment onto black card stock, embossed with white embossing powder and then accented my image with colored pencils. Second thing that made it easy was I used the brand new kit from Flourishes called 123 Create Love Story! You can click HERE to see this kit in its full glory. I love, love, love the papers, embellishments, ribbons and trims in this kit. Here's a sneak peek at all this kit has to offer...
And, you can see up close how my sentiment was accented -- I just love this look, don't you? It's completely fun! I could see using dark green for a background as well to create another kind of "chalkboard" look!
