Flourishes Release Week Challenge

We are cruising right into February already.. Can you believe it.  This month over at Flourishes the Release Week Challenge is to be inspired by the above photo.
I am thinking we are all ready for the big winter thaw.
 February Release Challenge

I chose the Year In Flowers 1 set.  I love the pretty crocus stamp in this set.  I stamped
on Flourishes Classic White Cardstock.  Colored with Flourishes Copic Crocus Collection  .
I stamped the sentiment from the Kids Play set. I used my Spellbinders Eyelet Circles for my sentiment.  Come  join us for this week's challenge.  Create a card inspired by the Winter Thaw photo..Upload to the Flourishes Blog for a chance to win the entire new release.  
Flourishes is having a store wide sale..Check it out:


Are you ready to take a gamble? Starting Thursday, February 3rd, Flourishes will be hosting a progressive sale called our Gambler’s Sale! We’ll start the sale at 10% off all items on our SALE page and then, each Thursday afterward, we will drop prices another 5% until all the items are going, going, GONE! Quantities are limited – so take a gamble and see how low these prizes will go and risk losing the sale or buy them before they get snatched up! There will be no backorders on any of the products facing retirement. So, get these items before they are gone for good! Since we have to make room for all the new things we purchased at CHA, this sale is bound to be good! Click HERE to take a peek at our sale pages!

Now go check out what the rest of the team has created:

    GASP!!!! OH. MY. GOODNESS. This is a stunner, Dawn. I love how you masked them (never thought of that, DUH!) and how you put that little strip of patterned paper under the main layer (never thought of that, either, LOL!). I'll be CASEing that idea ;-)

    Such beautiful, purple blooms. Fabulous card! I saw some crocus or daffodils coming up in my this week. Too cold to go out and check to see which....maybe both. I can hardly wait for those blooms to pop out.
