It’s that time of the month! Time for
Flourishes’ March release and, boy have we got some lovelies for you this month.

Mother's Words of Wisdom Graphic


Today we’re showing you Mother’s Words Of Wisdom, a set with a GORGEOUS wreath of peonies and some very special sentiments.

Today’s the day we introduce this month’s 1, 2, 3 Create Kit, too, and I’m one of the lucky ones who get to show it to you :)

123 Create Kit Pretty In Pink With Banner

I love this new set—that wreath is a color-er’s dream! But I can also see it being done much more simply, too. Something for everyone! BUT I did color mine. I stamped it on Classic White (Tip: I’m not sure if I’m the only one, but I can’t color on Ivory card stock. LOVE it for bases and other things, so when I want an “Ivory” look, I simply color on white and sponge with Antique Linen Distress Ink—works like a charm) card stock with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored it with these Copic Collections.

Evergreen Collection:

Then I designed my card, using this month’s 1, 2, 3 Create Kit contents: paper, ribbon, and the Candi embellishments. I also did a little stitching and then popped the wreath up on foam dots after I stamped the sentiment in the center.

Now, be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has for you today...
