Timeless Tuesday: With Gratitude


Good morning Timeless Tuesday Friends! Today is a real treat, the Flourishes Design Team is featuring a stamp set that was previously a FLIP gift. I actually became a Flourishes FLIP member to get it! And now Flourishes is releasing the set, and I'm so excited! This is a great one for a "Thank You" card!

Today's host is Heather and she is challenging us to use her sketch! Isn't it a pretty?
Growing up, my family had fields of  "Black Eyed Susan" Echineacea on their 40 acre property, but they only had the kind with orange petals. So I looked up some other colors that Echinacea's have, and I really fell in love with the colors in these photos.


I stamped my Flourishes "With Gratitude" flowers in Memento "Tuxedo Black" on paper and watercolored colored it in. I used  a Spellbinders "Nested Pennants" die for an accent piece,  matted everything on Flourishes Classic White cardstock and then added a pearl flourish.

As you make the rounds in today’s Timeless Tuesday hop, you’ll notice that some of the designers are using a fresh picked 123 Creat Kit called Delightful!
                                
These kits have everything you need to create color coordinated cards with paper, ribbons and embellishments – all in one kit!  Travel HERE to see for yourself!

Please visit the rest of the team to gather more Flourishes inspirations!
