Flourishes Favorites: Focus on the Guys!

Hello Flourishes Friday Friends! Today we're going to continue on our theme of masculine cards that we began last week, giving you some more great inspiration for that guy in your life! The Senior Design Team is picking any set in our Flourishes Stamp Collection and showing off their masculine designs to you today. I now you'll be inspired and come away with some great manly ideas!

I used the Flourishes Father's Day set to make my card.

I used Father's Day that I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Classic White cardstock and sponged with Memento Desert Sand ink onto a Spellbinders Perfectly Pierced Frame diecut. Then I tied some Kraft Jute around my card and added a Black Button knotted on, then I matted my card with Flourishes Kraft and Classic Black cardstocks.

This will be Danielle's last Friday with us :( We are going to miss her sweet spirit and her amazing designs! Please stop by her blog and leave her some love! :)

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!

For more Hello Hyacinths inspirations please visit the rest of the Flourishes team, and please leave these ladies below some love in the form of a comment! I know they'd love to hear from you!!

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
