Here we are in the last week of July already… my, my, my! Well, we just can’t let it pass without having a little Christmas in July celebration at Flourishes. From now until July 31st all Flourishes’ Christmas stamps are on sale for 20% off. No code necessary. Flourishes will automatically discount the stamps for you.
Have you started your Christmas cards yet? This one brings me up to a grand total of two. I’d better get busy!
I’ve used Winter Bouquet, colored with Copics, and layered on these Spellbinders shapes:
The sentiment was cut with one of the Ribbon Banners dies. I curved the stamp ever so slightly for a perfect fit. One of the things I like best about this set, aside from the gorgeous floral image in two sizes, is the sentiments that come with it. I’ve used them on many of my Christmas cards, inside and out. Love that it includes a thank you sentiment, too.
All week, the Flourishes team will take turns sharing Christmas cards. It’s just me today, but be sure and check the Newsletter to see what’s coming up on the schedule. Have a great week!
Stamps: Winter Bouquet Paper: Red Bazzill textured, wasabi, Flourishes Classic Ivory, Webster’s Pages Waiting for Santa designer paper Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Ruby Red Accessories: Rhinestones, Spellbinders Lacey Squares, Classic Squares Large, and Labels Sixteen Nestabilities, Spellbinders Ribbon Banners, Scotch brand foam mounting tape (to pop up banner)
Beautiful job on this and I love that set!!

A simply splendid image, beautifully colored, Leslie! Love seeing that Ribbon Banner die in action: I had ordered some recently but not yet used. Love it!
