Flourishes Release Week: Greatest Gift

Hello Flourishes Friends! Have you enjoyed the Release Week? Are you ready for Flourishes last release day? It's a great one!

This set is called Greatest Gift and it's beyond beautiful!

I stamped the Greatest Gift image onto Flourishes Classic White cardstock in very black ink, coloring it in with Copics. After that I fussy cut out the image and placed popdots under it to lift it off the page and give it a 3D, life-like effect. I mounted the image onto a Kraft paper with black foil designs. Then I mounted the design paper onto black cardstock to make the design paper and image pop.

This has to be the quintessential Christmas card image for the ages. Mary is lovingly looking at baby Jesus and Joseph is looking in wonder and love, at his wife, Mary. You cannot get a more beautiful Christmas card image anywhere!

In honor of Flourishes, I am offering another blog prize during this Release Week! I am offering 3 Flourishes stamp sets, 2 yards of Flourishes May Arts Silk Ribbon: Mauve and Burgundy, plus some other laces and ribbons!

All you have to do is subscribe to my blog newsletter and leave a comment on ALL four days of the Flourishes Release Week. I will announce the winner August 14th. Be sure you remember to subscribe to my blog post emails, because you don't want to miss that announcement!

Please check out the other great designs from the rest of the Design Team, using the Greatest Gift stamp set, image!

It's Time!!

It's Here! It's Blog Candy Giveaway day!

Did you enjoy the Flourishes first Release Week? I loved seeing all the creativity my fellow Design Team friends have. They are so creative and nice, I feel so blessed to be on the same DT with them.

I want to thank you all for the lovely comments you left during the Release Week, you made my week so much fun and a blessing. But I will keep this short and sweet, so without further ado, let's find out who won the blog candy!

I gave everyone that commented on ALL THREE days of the release a number, and added all of those numbers into Random.org., and the number picked is: 2

Number 2 is : Lenoria!!!

Congratulations, Lenoria! Please email your shipping address to havonfamily@yahoo.com so that I can send your blog candy out to you! As an added bonus, I'm throwing in another Flourishes stamp set to go with the other two, and another item or two you might enjoy!! Once I get your email confirming your address, I will ship out your prizes! I can't wait to see what you create with them!

Thank you so much to everyone for participating, I'll see you on Saturday with another Flourishes card blog post, made from one of this month's stamp releases :)
