Flourishes FTTC, SCS CC, and MORE!





Happy Tuesday everyone!  It is time for Flourishes FTTC113!  Dee is the challenge host this week. She has chosen  "flowers flowers everywhere" for  this week's challenge!  You can interpret that any way you choose provided, of course, you use a flower.  We would love to see what you create! I am using the colors from SCS CC318!    This week is so saffron, pretty in pink, and pear pizzazz. 



For my card I am using Flourishes  Cherry Blossoms and Spring Is Sprung (sentiment) stampsets.  I combined the set with some of the NEW in stock Spellbinders.  I am using the Fleur De Lis Rectangles and Labels Twenty. I stamped my blossoms with Memento tuxedo black onto Flourishes Classic white cardstock.  I colored with Flourishes Copic Color Collection.  I layered onto Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock.  I added some cotton-lace trim and seam binding/bow.  I softly sponged inside my spellbinder dies.  I used some gold pearls to frame my frames!  I finished my card with pearl/gold button, corsage pins.
Check out the other blog team designers to see what they created with the flowers flowers everywhere challenge!
