HELLO Flourishes Friends! Lots to tell you today... Today the Flourishes Team is excited to show you one more look at its June Release! We liked everything so much we just couldn't stop at the Sneak Peeks!

So.... on to my card!
I'm just going to share a wee bit about this card because really -- it's quite simple! I stamped my image on Flourishes Classic White Card Stock using Memento Tuxedo Black and then let the coloring fun begin! You can see all the color collections that I used if you gander at my supply list below! Honestly, I have NO idea how long this took to color because I watched a movie, Copics next to me, and by the end of the movie I was done after breaks here and there. Coloring does that to me -- puts me in a transe -- I swear! I added some paper piercing, a sentiment flag and then stamped and cut out the little butterfly from the set, popping it up with a bit of foam tape. The curved bottom was done thanks to the Spellbinders Labels Fourteen . Just that easy peasy! Because the red poppies were so vibrant, I really wanted the image to speak for itself without a lot of "extras" on my card. That's why I kept my layout rather simple.

There you have it! And remember that today is your last chance for this month's New Release Bundle of stamps at 10% off. AND for more fun SALE news... Looking to add to your ribbon collection in your stamp room? Well, now is the time to stock up! Flourishes is having a bonanza of a ribbon sale. Nearly everything in our warehouse needs to go to make room for new collections! Most ribbon can be found at prices up to 40% off retail! And, once these ribbons are gone, they will be gone! So, hop on over and shop now for the best selection!

Speaking of hopping, don't forget to pay these ever-so-talented ladies a visit! You won't be sorry that you did!
Hope you have a fabulous weekend ahead planned! I plan to have a little fun in the sun. My son has a basketball tournament this weekend, so I'll get my "hoops" fix as well! Maybe a barbecue? That sounds yummy too. Well, wherever YOU are -- have a good one! I'll see you back here soon!

I love how you used the Labels 14 die. How do you keep the top from being the same shape as the bottom? Looks great and your coloring wonderful.
