Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC25)!

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC25)!!!! Thanks so much to all of you who participated in last week's tag challenge! Keep reading to find out who won!

The Friends of Flourishes blog design team are bringing you exciting and different challenges each week. Everyone can PLAY and anyone can WIN! Make sure you continue reading to find out how.

This week Cindy Haffner is our host. This week at Flourishes it is all about shimmerz so Cindy is challenging us to get out our little pots of shimmerz, shake them up, and use them on our cards. There are so many wonderful ways to use these little pots of shine to add just the perfect touches of shimmer to a card. As always, if you do not have any shimmerz, yet, no problem. All we ask is that you add some shimmer and shine to your cards. We cannot wait to see what you create!!!

Let's go she what the blog design team created using shimmerz!!!


First up is our challenge host, Cindy Haffner. Cindy is is using the newly released Strawberries stamp set. Cindy colored the strawberries using Flourishes Copic Color Collections in Spring Greens, Hollyhock, and Poppy. Cindy added some shimmerz to the leaves and strawberries to create her shimmer. She layered the image with spellbinders. Love the patterns and ribbon detailing. Beautifully done, Cindy!!!






Up next is Kimberly Crawford. Kimberly is using the newly released Beach Life stamp set. She stamped the palm trees using versamark. Kim embossed the trees and sponged over some pigment chalk ink. Kim put the shimmerz in a fine misting bottle and sprayed a couple of coats of shimmerz over the whole piece to create a shimmery background effect!!! Kim is also giving us a little peak at a soon to be released spellbinders label 8 shape!!! Wonderful colors, technique, and design, Kim!!!






Next is, Silke Ledlow . Silke is using the newly released Strawberries stamp set as well. Silke is also using the Flourishes Copic Color Collections in Spring Greens, Hollyhock, and Poppy. Silke added shimmerz to sections of the fruits, leaves, and flowers to create a shimmery highlight effect. Love this look with the product, too!! Fantastic layout and design!!! Great coloring and detailing, Silke. Beautifully done!!!





Next, is Betty Wright. I am using one of my favorite Flourishes sets called Thank You. I am using some basicgray eva designer paper. I chose to create shimmer and sparkle to my card by using only the shimmerz to color the image. I am using royal red and celery shimmerz. I used Flourishes Copic Color Collections in Cool Neutrals. I specifically used the C1 to add shadow to my image. The shimmerz is beautiful and dries very fast!!! I love the look!!!

I love shimmer and shine, but don't actually have Shimmerz. I did a card using SU's Holigram Highlights EP.

As always, love the DT's samples. Thanks again for another great challenge.
