Flourishes Friday Focus: Beach Sets!

Happy Friday Flourishes Friends! How is the weather in your neck of the woods? Is that summer heat getting you down? Well today the Flourishes Senior Design Team has a treat for you focussing on three beautiful summery sets: Beach Life, A Guiding Light and Seaside Life because we know that this time of year makes you long for those cool ocean breezes.
I chose to work with Beach Life for my simple 10 minute card.

I stamped out a shell from the Beach Life in Versafine Onyx Black ink, onto Classic Ivory cardstock and fussy cut it out. I used the Sweet Pea and the Dahlia Classic Copic Collections. Then I diecut out my cardstock with some Spellbinder dies. After that I stamped out more shell images from Beach Life, as a background, in Memento Desert Sand ink then I sponged Tattered Rose Distress Ink around the background.

Just a quick note, we seem to be currently out of Beach Life stamp sets at the moment, but we should be back in stock soon, though! :)

Head on over and visit...

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your summer in the sun, hopefully at the beach!!

Flourishes Friday Focus: What A Catch!

Good morning and happy Friday everyone! Today is Flourishes Friday Focus on What A Catch and our Focus on the Designers! Please check out who the Focus is on this week HERE on the Flourishes blog!

On to my creation, I created a Father's Day gift card holder, for the men that are hard to buy for!

I stamped What A Catch on Classic Ivory cardstock, with Versafine Black Onyx ink and fussy cut my image. I colored it in with Ice Blue, Buttercup, Beehive, Copper, Walnut, Flesh Tones 1 and Cool Neutrals Copic Collections. I found a DAD gift card file on the online Silhouette America store and cut the Shape out with my Silhouette Cameo Machine and I used Score Tape to adhere all of the layers together.

Inside it I stamped the fish image in the gift card pocket area and colored it in with the Ice Blue, Cool Neutrals, and Sweet Pea Copic Collections. I wanted to add a Bass Pro Shops Gift card inside but apparently we don't have any near by us :(

For more What A Catch inspirations, visit the Flourishes Gallery! I know it will just tickle your toes seeing all those awesome designs!

Friday Focus: Hello Hyacinths!

Hello to our Flourishes Friday Focus on Hello Hyacinths! This is going to be a good hop, so grab a cuppa and let's get started shall we?

I've loved the Hello Hyacinth's set since it first came out, and it's such a lovely image to color in!

I stamped my image in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it in with the Lilac, Crocus, Olive Green, Green Grass, Iced Aqua, Flesh Tones 2 and the Copper Copic Collections. I fussy cut out my image and popped it up on popdots on top of some diecut shapes cut from Classic Ivory cardstock, then I matted my card in Rich Browns cardstock from Color Made Easy. I added some lace, Cotton Latte ribbon, a Taupe Button, Jute Twine, and a Tailor Made Classic Tag to finish the card.

With spring here, this is a perfect set to use for your cards and creations! And, want to know another fun fact? Flourishes recently added a Silhouette Cut File to match this set that you can find HERE.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for a major announcement -- one that could involve YOU! That's right! You'll just have to check back and see!

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
