Hi, all! Ready for some Flourishes goodies? June sneaks start today, and these sets are part of an entire collection of stamp sets that will be released over the next year! It’s called the Blossom Collection and each set released under this name will be designed to coordinate with the other pieces for all types of occasions! Use one set on it’s own or slowly add to the collection—that’s the beauty of it! 

Today's set is the first part of this collection and features beautiful blooms perfect for summer, called Summer Blossoms!




Part of The Blossoms Collection, this beautiful array of summer blossoms illustrated by Marcella Hawley features a bouquet, corner stamps, and pieces to create your own borders or frames. Add in a trio of all occasion sentiments and you have the perfect set to create cards for every day correspondence. Set measures 4 by 6" and is the perfect companion to sister sets Happily Ever After SS199 and Letters in Blossom SS198. If you like what you see, this set is available for pre-order now, just click HERE!

I stamped my image on Classic White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, cut it out with my Labels Twenty Two Nestabilities and colored with these Copic Collections:

 Evergreen Collection:

New Leaves Collection:

Then I stamped the sentiment from the set and proceeded to layer up some Classic White card stock and tie this ribbon around in a bow.

So, what do you think of this set? Just fabulous, right? Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has for you today.

    7. Barbara, your card is so beautiful. I was first drawn to the flourishes site when trying to work out what copics I should buy. But was just introduced to their stamps on the weekend by Jan Marie at a Brisbane show. They are just perfect for colouring. Cheers Linda
