Flourishes Friday Focus

SiberianIriscloseup.

It is time for another Friday Focus over at Flourishes.. This week the ever so talented Christine is showcasing her amazing skills and shows us how to "pop" it up.
 Check it out HERE.
I needed a birthday card for a very special stamping friend..
 
SiberianIrisCard.

I chose the beautiful Flourishes set called Siberian Iris.. it is perfect for our springlike weather here in NC. I used my Grand Calibur to cut out my Grand Labels One Dies.  
I also used it to cut out my sentiment with the Nested Lacey Pennants. 
 
SiberianIrisLayers.

Here is the close up of the flowers cut out and popped up.. I love this set.  It is perfect for Mother's Day or a birthday.  It is very easy to color too.. I used the Peony, Petunia, and Green  Grass Flourishes Copic Collections.
I used the Cotton Linen Hot Pink ribbon and Snow White Pearls. Now check out what the rest of the Flourishes Senior Design team came up with...


Don't forget Flourishes Gamblers Sale going on now.. Everything is now 30% off.. Check it out HERE.. Hurry before supplies are gone.  

I have a few more challenges I wanted to join in on....
C.R.A.F.T.  Create a Mother's Day Card
Craft Us Crazy:  Nature themeThe colors I chose went with the CR84FN17 color challenge this week.. Here is the inspiration photo..My pinks may be a bit too bright but I went with it..
