BLOG CANDY Fun... and Flourishes Release Day 3


Welcome to the last and final day for Flourishes New Releases.. Today we are showcasing our last two sets.  Windows To The World and Fuchsias In Bloom.. 
For the Windows To The World set
I chose to keep it simple.. Colored with Flourishes Copics Collections on 

SeptRelease2
  For the Fuchsia In Bloom set I stamped directly on the 
Basic Grey Green At Heart paper and used the
new Mosaic Tiles in Black that Flourishes now carries in the store.  
They are the greatest embellishment.. They adhere so nicely. 

Check out what the rest of the team created with these sets:
                                                                      Christine Okken
Stacy Morgan 



Check out all the information about the new sets HERE on the Flourishes Blog. They are all available today..
NOW LET'S HAVE A LITTLE FUN... To thank all of you for following my blog, leaving comments and making my world a happy place I am offering 4 free Flourishes sets..  I chose the 4 seasons as my free sets.

HUMMING ALONG (spring)  
STRAWBERRIES(summer) 
SUNFLOWER(fall)
SLEIGH RIDE (winter) ( so you can participate in our monthly Christmas challenge on SCS) :)


HERE is all you have to do:

The Windows To The World card  I created above got me to thinking about how many different places we live. Sooooo leave me a comment below telling me.. (PLEASE.. only the state or country is needed) where you reside.  I will announce a winner one week from today.  I am in North Carolina... a gorgeous state that looks like the above picture.  Now it is your turn.....

  12. I love your cards, Dawn! And especially the Windows to the World. I am from Indiana, usually a lovely state but we have had so little rain for the past month and a half that we are turning brown. The leaves are falling from the trees too early because of lack of water and I'm afraid that we won't have much of our beautiful fall color this year. I guess I'll have to make more fall cards.

  71. Dear Dawn,

    Thank you so much for your beautiful generous nature. Here you are blessing us even more...your blog is a huge blessing!

    If you were to look outside of any of our windown...first you would have to open the blinds, and then you would see a quiet area a few miles out of Orlando, Florida. You would see Oak trees that are so majestic! And, many different birds in our feeders!

    Thank you for the chance to win. How exciting!
