Flourishes Friday


It's Friday already.  The time has gone fast this month.. It always does in December.
This Friday is a free day and we can create whatever we like.  I chose the newly
released set Butterflies and Blossoms.  Image was stamped on Flourishes Classic White Cardstock and  colored with Copics.  I also used the beautiful 
Analee Paper for the panels.
Blossoms & Blooms



I colored my butterfly with..The Gerber Daisy Copics Collection twice and cut it out and popped it up.  Addedthe May Arts Crocheted Ribbon Flourishes has in the store.  

Then I switched gears to a winter card. 
  
I used the set that was released in November called Vintage Postcard.  I wanted
to try to create a sunset behind the church.  Love this stamp set. I added some Nail Heads for my embellishments. This card is in the mail to my friend Kris who has surgery next week.  Hope it will cheer her up...I made it for Mothermark's teapot challenge.. A blank canvas.  Create a card with a scene..

That's it from me.  Here is what the rest of the Design Team has for you:

  2. Both of your cards are Beautiful! The butterfly looks like it's coming to life. And the swirly thing on top of the Christmas card is the perfect finishing touch to the beautiful coloring you did.

  24. Oh Dawn,

    These are so beautiful! I love the Vintage scene. I made some that are similar for some of our Christmas cards. I love the old Christmas images. You really made it come out wonderfully!

    And, your beautiful butterfly and flowers. I would love to win some copics to color anything near how you could color...some how, I don't think the copics alone would do it! You are awesome! I can say that my 7 copics really make a difference when I colored my purple flower and green leaves. They came from Flourishes. I would love to add to my 7...they are lonely! lol
