"For this week's challenge be inspired by the letter P. Sounds a bit crazy, but not really if you think about it for a bit. I'm thinking pink, pearls, poppies, purple, punches, and piercing. Do you get the picture? Sure you do so let's get moving and make those perfectly pretty and positively pleasing presentations. Don't think you've been challenged in this way before, so I will be excited to see how you all do." Pat

Let's check out what Pat Adam created for us with the inspired by the letter "P" challenge! Pat is using the Poppy Patch and Gerber Daisy stamp sets. She is using soft pink cardstock and patterned paper. I just love the wonderful poppy arrangement Pat stamped. She colored her poppies using soft colors of pinks from the Flourishes Copic Color Collection. She used different Spellbinder's die cuts to give added detailing to her focal image. She finished her card with a beautiful pink satin ribbon bow and accented with pearls! Please check out her blog for more card details!

This week Silke Ledlow is hosting. Silke is challenging us to a sketch she has designed. As far as sketches go, there is not much explanation necessary. You can turn it and enlarge the sections to fit your card size. However, in the end, it should still look like the sketch. Good Luck!!!! Looking forward to seeing what you create with it!!!

Let's take a look a what Silke created using her sketch. Silke is using the Year of Flowers Calendar Set 3. Silke colored the flowers using Flourishes Copic Color Collection in Holly, Dahlia, and Hollybock. Silke layered her card using the Euphoria basicgray dp. Silke scored the horizontal panel to add texture. The layered monochromatic scalloped circle spellbinders offers a gorgeous frame to emphasize the beautifully colored flower. Make sure to check out Silke's blog link so you can see what she has inside her card. Beautifully done, Silke.

This week Betty Wright is our host. I am challenging you all to create a scene with stamps. Flourishes has a lot of scene stamps to choose from, such as beach scenes, garden scenes, patio, to party scenes. There are also several indoor scenes stamps from comfy cozy to formal. You can also choose if it is daylight or nighttime in the scene you create. Many possibilities. So, this week we are all creating a scene! We would love to see what you create!

Let's take a look a what I created for you with the Scene It challenge this week. I decided to create a vintage feel scene. I am using A Year of Flowers Calendar Set 2 and Seasonal Wreaths. I used a scallop to create a sky background and stamped the rose clusters randomly onto Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock. I colored with Flourishes Copic Color Collection in Dahlia and Evergreen . I love how my scene looks like someone just tossed roses into the air. So carefree, yet very vintage in tone and feel. I finished with a layered scalloped punch boarder and a few gold pearls beside the sentiment. I would like to add that while I sponge the sky on this card, Flourishes new release this month is a cloud background. I can hardly wait to get mine! It is fabulous. Also, you can still get this cloud background with the NEW Release bundle pricing still available through Thursday.

Timeless Tuesday!

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge!!!! Thanks so much for all who played along with us last week. It was so fun checking out all the cards. Keep reading to find out the winner from last week's challenge.

The Friends of Flourishes 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 Betty Wright is hosting the Timeless Tuesday Challenge. It seems that buttons are everywhere. Whether they are tiny or huge, colorful or clear, slick or textured, or even stamped, they are one of the hottest items out there. So, this week your challenge is to use buttons!!!

While we are on the subject of buttons, would you like our Timeless Tuesday blog button for your blog? Come along with me and I will take you to the info.

First, let's go see the clever ways the Blog Team used buttons to give you some ideas to get started.

First stop is Betty Wright. I am using the Flourishes Poppy Patch and Many Sentiments on my card. My card is very bold and bright and covered in dimensional poppies!!! Can you see my two tiny button brads at the bottom left? They are still buttons even if they are tiny...lol!!!!

Buttons can be very elegant and sophisticated, too. Becca Feeken uses the Thank You set in wonderful creams and golds and accented with a lush satin ribbon adorned with ornate buttons. This is one stunning Thank You card!!!!

Next stop is Cindy Haffner's . Her card uses the Fantasy Floral Garden set. I need to get this set. I just love the many flowers that come in this set. Cindy colored it so beautifully, too. Her card boasts some beautiful colors, patterns, and textures. I love her little embellished assortment of colorful and see-through buttons. Did you see the tiny little button brad wrapped around the ribbon? How clever is that?

Next, we tip toe over to Dee Jackson's where we have a sleeping baby. Shhh.....be very quiet. We NEVER wake sleeping babies...hee hee. Dee is using the Rock-A-Bye set. Oh, this is so cute and beautifully done. I just love the way she colored the moon. Love her pearlized button with a touch of pink gingham ribbon, too. Adorable card!!!!!

Continuing on our journey, we visit Kimberly Crawford’s where she uses the Many Sentiments set to create this stunningly bold and beautiful card. Love the ALL black base with white embossed sentiment. She also uses Basic Gray Urban Prairie dp which is available in the Flourishes store. I just LOVE her clear button edge detailing and dp backed big button. Great look and effect!!!

It is pure Euphoria at Silke Ledlow’s . She uses the I Love Roses set and frames it beautifully in the Basic Gray Euphoria dp also sold at the Flourishes store. I love the soft palette of colors and frame detailing to bring focus to this lovely and beautifully colored rose. Note her little cluster of color coordinating buttons. Beautiful card!!!!!

Make sure to check out each blog team members links to get more card specifics.

As always thanks so much for stopping by. You cannot leave just yet, though. We have more to share. First we need to announce our FIRST Timeless Tuesday Winner!!!!!

Timeless Tuesday!

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge!!!! Thanks so much to all of you who played along with us last week and used flowers on your card. We had quite a few beautiful cards to look at. Great work everyone!!! Keep reading to find out the winner from last week's challenge.

For those of you who are new to the site, the Friends of Flourishes blog 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 Silke Ledlow is hosting the Timeless Tuesday Challenge. She wants us to use vellum on our cards. There are all types of vellums. You have vellum cardstock, vellum paper, colored vellum, embossed vellum, printed vellum, and all kinds of vellum stickers and embellishments. In addition, there are many techniques that can be done using vellum. So, the challenge this week is to dust off your vellum stash and do something with it!!!!

Let’s go see the many different ways the blog team has used vellum.


Up first is our challenge host Silke Ledlow . She is using the Flourishes Thank You set in shades of purples. She has used vellum in two places on her card. The first is a background layer behind the flower. It is used to soften the designer paper and create visual interest. Her other use of vellum is the border punch. This is fabulous and the gem detailing is just perfection. Love how she colored the flower so beautifully, too!!!!

Next is Betty Wright. I am using the Flourishes Summer Botanicals and Many Sentiment sets. I am using some altered Basic Gray Urban Prairie dp found at the Flourishes store. I stamped and sponged each piece to create a more vintage feel. I love the solid coneflower image. I think it looks just as beautiful in colors as it does in silhouette. I used a vellum overlay sentiment tag!

Next is Cindy Haffner's . Her card uses uses the Flourishes February release Signs of Spring set. Cindy is using a scripted printed vellum envelop to create this boldly colored card which she accessorized beautifully with the tole daffodil flowers. The wonderfully colored flowers are so striking and dimensional. The little black die cut leaves just compliements the daffodils beautifully, too. Love how she included the Monet quote as the finishing touch!!!!!

Last up is Kimberly Crawford. She is using the Many Sentiments set to create this bold beautiful card. I love the Basic Gray, Sultry dp found at Flourishes I love the bold colored patterns and her wonderful stitched border. She used vellum cardstock to die cut the lovely butterflies. Love how she stamped the sentiment directly to the colored dp. She finished her card with just the perfect complimenting touches of organdy ribbon, and gem detailing. Great looking card!!!!

Be sure to check out each designer's blog links for more specific card details.

Becca and Dee could not be with us this week because they are in Florida finishing up a fabulous Flourishes Weekend Craft retreat with Copic class. I cannot wait to see photos of what they all did and learned these past few days!!!

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.

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC30)! It is the last Tuesday of the month so we have a guest challenge host this week. Our challenge host is Liz Williams(lazylizard). Thanks so much, Liz for hosting a challenge with us. Liz is challenging us to use pearls on our cards. Whether you want to use pearlized papers, pearlx, pearl paints, halfback pearls, actual pearl beads, or a combination of anything pearl, whichever you choose to use, we would love to see what you create.

Let's go see what the blog design team created for you using pearls this week.

Up first this week is our challenge host, Liz Williams. Liz is using Sweet Peas and Lace and Trims stamp sets. Liz stamped an edge border using one of the images in the lace and trims set. She stamped the sweet pea and colored with copic markers. For her challenge, she created a pearl frame on one of the spellbinders scalloped circle layers. She added a double ribbon with bow to complete her beautiful card. Wonderfully done, Liz!!! Beautiful card!!!










Next up is Silke Ledlow . Silke is using the newly released Gerbera Daisies stamp set. Silke is using the Flourishes classic white cardstock. Silke colored the gerbera daisies using the Flourishes Copic Color Collections in Tea Rose, Hollyhock, and Fields. Silke colored and cut out one of the butterflies that come in this set. She added silver pearl detailing as well as some pink shimmerz. Beautifully done, Silke!!!










Up next is Betty Wright. For my card, I am using Flourishes newly released Gerbera Daisies set. I am using Flourishes classic white cardstock. This cardstock is wonderful for coloring with copics. I am using Flourishes Copic Color Collection in Dusty Rose, Daffodil, Tiger Lily, Fields, and Evergreen. For the pearl challenge, I added a few pearls to the opposite corners that I colored to coordinate using markers. I also added a few to the bottom of the main image.









Cindy Haffner is up next. Cindy is using the newly released Figs and Pomegranate stamp set. Cindy is using Flourishes classic white cardstock. She colored the pomegranates with Flourishes Copic Color Collections in Dusty Rose, Poppy, and Spring Greens. Cindy layered different shaped nestabilities and added touches of halfback pearls. Cindy is also using some pearlized red cardstock for added visual effect. Beautifully done, Cindy!!!










Last up this week is Kimberly Crawford. Kimberly is using the Vintage Wallpaper background stamp set. She stamped the image and added copic altered pearls for an added touch of contrast. She finished the look with a pop of dark pink ribbon. Lovely card, Kim!

Up first this week is Kimberly Crawford. Kimberly is using the Cherries and Peaches stamp set. This is gorgeous, Kim!!! I just love the colors and patterns. For the no coloring challenge, Kim paper pieced the leaves and used some red glitter for the cherries. It makes them look mouth-watering sweet!!! Beautiful detailing and design, Kim!!!

Next up is Silke Ledlow . Silke is using the I Love Roses stamp set. Beautiful colors and piercing detailing, Silke!!! For the no coloring challenge, Silker paper pieced the leaves and the rose using different patterns to create visual interest. She also used the paper tole technique to create dimension and depth with the rose. Wonderful looking card, Silke!!!

Up next is Betty Wright. For my card, I am using Poinsettias and Boxwood set. I am using some basicgray lemonade dp. I used the paper tole technique as well. I embossed with a snowflake pattern that mimics the pinking nestabilities shaped framing. I added some gold wheat shimmerz and kaleidescope embossing powder for added sparkle. I finished with some pearls, gold cording, and a satin and sheer ribbon bow!!!






Cindy Haffner is up next. Cindy is using the Coffee with Friends and Strawberries stamp set. Wonderful colors and textures, Cindy. Cindy paper pieced the cup using some basicgray dp. She embossed the background and used the same background embossing on the cup. She finished her card with a silver cord frame and some lace with ribbon combination. Beautifully done, Cindy!!!

Please check out our individual blogs for more card details!!

It is the last Tuesday of the month so we have a guest challenge host this week. Our challenge host is Kathy Jones(Wattle) all the way from Australia. Please give Kathy a warm welcome! Thanks so much, Kathy for hosting a challenge with us. Kathy is challenging us to use border punches or borderabilities. You decide if you want to use just one border, mix different patterns, or layer several for a fanciful look. Whatever you decide, we would love to see what you create! Have fun with this one! The skies the limit!

Let's see what Kathy Jones created using borders! She is using Flourishes Gerbera Daisy set. She colored the daisies using Flourishes Copic Color Collections in Crocus. Kathy cut out the entire arrangement and popped it up on a textured oval center. She then layered that with the Spellbinders label 5. I love all the beautiful cut work detailing and dimension. Kathy accented the whole arrangement with fleur de lis punch border frames. She finished her gorgeous card with some kaiser pearls. Beautifully done, Kathy!!!

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC43)!

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC43)! Thanks so much to you all for playing along in last week's sketch challenge! Keep reading to find out who won!

The Friends of Flourishes blog design team are bringing you exciting and different challenges each week. Flourishes gives away a store gift certificate each week. Random.org decides who wins!! Everyone can PLAY and anyone can WIN! Make sure you continue reading to find out how.

It is the last Tuesday of the month and we have a guess challenge host for you. This month our challenge host is Carol Lee. Please give her a warm welcome! We are so thrilled to have Carol host with us. Carol is challenging us to themed cards. Since this week we celebrate Thanksgiving as well as kick off the Christmas Season, Carol is challenging us to Thank You and/or Christmas themed cards. You can choose one theme or create one of each. Or like many, you may need to finish up a few Christmas cards in time for mailing next week. Whichever you choose, we look forward to seeing what you create! Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

Let's see what Carol Lee has created using the themed challenge! Carol chose to create a Christmas themed card. She is using Flourishes Forrest of Trees and the Basketweave background sets. Carol is using some Basicgray Indian Summer dp. Carol stamped the basketweave with razzleberry ink to make it pop on the dark pink solid paper from the dp pack. She stamped the tree and embossed with a woodland white ep. She add some tinsel glitter to give the tree some extra sparkle. Carol finished her Christmas card with some satin burgandy ribbon! Gorgeous Christmas card, Carol! Beautifully done!
