Flourishes is releasing 3 new sets today and here are three creations using one of the sets called, SUMMER BOTANICALS. By the creations here you can see the many looks achieved from one stamp! The above card measures 3 7/8 x 8 1/2 inches, perfect fit for a business envelope. I inked my stamp by dabbing the ink pad directly on my stamp. Colors used on all creations are ColorBox Chalk inks: Pink Pastel, Warm Red, Lime, and Olive Pastel. On the above card I stamped twice before re inking stamp. The sentiment Celebrate is from one of the other new release sets! Machine stitching, adhesive pearls, and the super cool large button add pizazz to the stamped image! Gotta love that!

A single stamped image provides a stunning look for this card. Cut out with a rectangle nestie and layered on olive green card stock embossed with the swis.jpg)
s dot cuttlebug folder, then mounted on a rose red card stock piece embossed with a scor pal is color perfect.
Bloom is stamped with StazOn on clear card stock and cut with a cuttlebug tag die. The tag is positioned to have bloom read off the end of the flower stem. The stem and flower are outlined with a light gray copic marker. Label is attached with green ribbon from Michael's Dollar bin and gorgeous pink sheer found at FLOURISHES.
I love the clear tag with the sentiment! It adds so much to the overall design and is so easy to accomplish!

The same image, with a dramatically different look! Shabby, but oh so nice! I wrinkled the image piece of card stock. Added some Tim Holtz distress tattered rose ink. Got out the MM distress tool and went to town on the Basic Grey DP and card stock edges.

Some french knots, and hand stitching with embroidery floss is wonderful for this look. And notice the dimension on the stem and leaves? This is a FANTASTIC new product called FLOWER SOFT. It is acid free and comes so compact when you open it multiplies like no tomorrow! Colors galore and it will last you forever! Apply with a tack glue, I used Aleene's Flower Soft high Tack PVA glue. So little is needed for a WOW impact. Take a look at the demo here using this new Flower Soft Product!
To finish the card I added dew drops in each corner. A piece of sheer pink ribbon along with a tied piece of embroidery floss.
Take a look at the other FLOURISH design team members to see what they have been up to! Their creations are spectacular! Jan Marie, Sharon, Nancy, Julie, Susan, Leslie, Faith, and Linda.
Thanks for stopping by and celebrating with me! Tomorrow will bring another creation with a new FLOURISH set! Take good care and see you soon!
