Christmas In July

Hi all and welcome to Flourishes’ Christmas in July sale! Each year around this time, we kick off a festive sale that is sure to warm your hearts and get you in the spirit, long before the snow starts to fly! Between now and the 31st of July, all Christmas sets will be a  20% off! Just click HERE to see all the goodies that are on sale!
Classic Christmas Cardinal.

With all the heat we have had here in NC I am ready for Christmas weather.  I chose Flourishes Christmas Classics set for my creation today. I went with a more vintage feel for this card. I stamped my image on Flourishes Classic White Cardstock and then colored with Flourishe's Copics Collection Fuschia, Copper, and Sky.
I added a Jovial Button and used the Spellbinders Square and  the Fleur de Lis Square dies.  The dies were cut out with my Grand Calibur.   The embellishment is from the Fancy Butterfly Crystal. The ribbon is the Solid Wrinkled Burgundy from Flourishe's ribbon collection.

If you would like some more inspiration check out what Leslie created on Monday and.. created on Tuesday.  Be sure to check out the Flourishes blog each day this week for more inspiration.
