Flourishes Beautiful World Tour!


Hello Everyone and welcome to the November Flourishes Beautiful World Tour! Once again, it's time to get those passports ready, grab a cup of coffee, and prepare for take off as we travel the world for Flourishes stamp inspiration from talented girls from all parts of the globe! 

 

A big thank you to everyone who traveled the globe with us last month and stamped our passports(left comments).  We were thrilled to have you join us!

Each month the team will create cards based on a theme.  All you have to do is take a tour to each blog, leave a comment for a chance to WIN!  One of the teams blogs will be a chosen vacation spot and one lucky person will win a Flourishes stamp set of their choice!   So, get your passports ready, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy the Flourishes Beautiful World Tour!

 

 

Hello Beautiful World!  We have a fantastic Beautiful World Tour for you this month that truly showcases some worldly Flourished glamor!   I, Betty Wright, challenged the Beautiful World Team to the Beautiful World of Sparkle this month.  Sit back and enjoy each stop on your Beautiful World Tour to see how each designer chose  to add some sparkle to their Flourished stamped creations.

 

If you've jetted here from Australia (Iwona's Blog)  your in the right country. If not, you may want to start your Beautiful World Tour at the Flourishes blog so you don't miss any of the inspiration along the way!

 

For my card I chose to make a CAS Christmas card.  It is slightly dimensional without adding a lot of bulk.  For my card I am using Flourishes Rejoice stamp set, Versa Mark, Flourishes Classic Ivory card stock , and Fine Gold embossing powder.  I love this beautiful word image.  I gold embossed the sentiment image and layered with some gold glittered card stock.  I added one additional popped up layer and my card was done.  I thought about adding a bow or some gold pearls, but I really wanted to keep it CAS and sort of flat for easy mailing.

Thanks for taking time to visit me, it's time to grab your passports and return to the Flourishes Blog and thanks for traveling with us today!

  As always thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy your Beautiful World Tour!
