Sneak Peeks Day 1: Old Fashioned Florals

Hi all and welcome to day 1 of Flourishes Sneaks for February! We have some fun planned this week and can't wait for you to join in! Today's peek is one that mixes beautiful florals with one very classy custom die Flourishes released not too long ago. What do you get when you pair a beautiful paper pierced die with stunning florals? Gorgeous creations for sure!

Introducing...

OldFashionedFloralsGraphic
Designed to be used with our Perfectly Pierced Victorian Ovals, this set illustrated by Marcella Hawley adds an old fashioned charm. Fuchsia, Four O'Clocks and Apple Blossoms adorn these oval centers with mix and match sentiments perfect for all occasions. 

On to my creation!

As I mentioned, this new set is a perfection companion to Flourishes Perfectly Pierced Victorian Ovals die -- I just love the way the image sets in the oval perfectly allowing you to get that layered look with a single layer! How do you do it? Well, take a peek! Start by stamping the image, and then, center the image in the center of the die like this.....

 

To add a little more dimension, I left the die on the cut shape and added some sponged color thanks to some Angel Pink Memento Ink....

Add some color with the help of some Copic Markers and... this is how it looks when you are done! (See my supply list below to see what Copic colors I used) You can also see that I added some bling and a little sentiment tag. The fun thing is, the mini sentiments in this set all fit in the tiny tag die that is a part of the Victorian Ovals die set!


And that, my friends, is it! If you like what you see, you can pre-order this set now HERE or.... do you want to try to win this set? All you need to do is try to figure out.....
