Today we're previewing another absolutely wonderful stamp set from Flourishes -- a winter scene which will take you into, through, and beyond Christmas. Where I live, our winters look nothing like this. It's a wonderland fantasy, the type I love to play in, though I'm sure there are drawbacks to actually living in it. Nevertheless, it looks like a dream to me, and it sure makes for a beautiful card!
Today's set is called Vintage Postcard. I've used the one large stamp and a sentiment, but there are other stamps, as well, which can be used to make it into an actual postcard, or to decorate the inside of the card. Go with the vintage look, or whatever look your heart desires.
I used Copics for coloring on Flourishes Classic White cardstock, then added lavish amounts of glitter. Oh, I wish you could see the sparkle in real life! This card currently sits on the secretary in my dining room, and you'd believe it was lit from within the way it illuminates it's little corner.
Here's a quick lineup of release details you won't want to miss:

Your wintry scene is so lovely, and you've added the perfect touch of sparkle!! I love the texture, and your beautiful bow as well!!
Our winters are very similar at times, and the cold gets old after a while...but the snow can be so pretty and sparkly, as it is on your beautiful card!!
