Dream
This is a card I did using images from 2 of the soon to be released sets by Flourishes. The sets are called Love Nest and Open to Love and both have the most adorable images — they are very fresh looking sets, drawn with clean lines – I love them both!!! They were drawn by Flourishes newest artist, and a friend of all of us at SCS, Sophie LaFontaine. And, of course, we even get some French words in the set!!! How fun!!!
This is a large card, 6″ x 6″. I stamped my arch (isn’t that a cool stamp?) onto a sheet of DP and then stamped my flowers and bird cage inside the arch. I drew in the chain that the bird cage is hanging from. The images are colored with pad ink and a blender pen, and the vase and bottom of the bird cage are accented with a Gold Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll Pen. Using a Coluzzle circle template, I cut out my main image — or just 1/2 as you can see. Going up one ring on the template I cut the pink frame. I just love doing this type of arch cut on the Coluzzle. Then it was just a matter of first sponging my layers and then assembling them, adding ribbon, brads and a sentiment. My Dream sentiment is from Fantasy Floral Garden by Flourishes. My card base was cut from a sheet of 12 x 12 Prismatics paper by Prism Papers in a color called Sugar Cream. Just love the texture to that paper!!!

Editing: I forgot to say earlier — anyone uploading projects with Flourishes images is welcome and invited to use the keyword FLLC — standing for Flourishes LLC. Using merely *Flourishes* as a keyword is also fine, but when searching for Flourishes all sorts of things pop up, and we still have to somewhat dig for cards with Flourishes images. We’d like to be able to quickly find all of your creations with Flourishes images, and using the keyword FLLC merely narrows the search. Thanks!!!
