Venice 123 Create Kit

Flourishes is releasing a brand new 123 Create Kit today.  It is called Venice and it is BEAUTIFUL.  I chose a vintage style card for my peek at this kit. 
Venice Close Up 
The kit has so many rich papers and the embellishments are gorgeous.  I chose the Flourishes Butterflies and Blossoms  set for my creation today.  
123CreateWM.

I have been so inspired by what Beate Johns has created in the past with her monochromatic tones.  I used Flourishes Copic Collections Creamy and Copper.  
Then I highlighted with Warm Neutrals. 
The blues are from Flourishes Robin's Egg Copic Collection.
I used Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Squares cut with my Grand Calibur die cut machine. I stamped my image twice onto Flourishes Classic White Cardstock and then colored. I added dimension to the flowers and butterfly.  

Here are the goodies you will receive in this kit:

    As always your coloring is just Lovely! The way you used the Fleur De Lis Squares as the mat and then again at the top of the card... very different... and sticking too!
    Beautiful Kit!

    What can I say that has not already been said about this card. It is too die for!! I love how you colored the florals to match the paper and how you did a collage with the papers.
    This is just TOTALLY!!!

    This is such a gorgeous card. I would never have thought of doing the flowers in those colors & yet they are just beautiful. You just keep surprising me by doing the unexpected. I need to learn to think outside the box more!

    Oh, my word! Heavenly! All the colors, patterns and style. Love how you shaded a blue background with the neutral image which gives it all the more impact. This is a real work of art, Dawn!
