The final day of looking at Flourishes has in store for you, tonight you are able to add any or all of these three fabulous set to your collection or to start a collection of Flourishes stamps. If you love to color, and I do, if you like botanical, if you like variety, I do too! Now is a good time to acquire stamps from Flourishes!

Join us tonight at 9 PM EST for a Party with fun, fast, and fabulous chatting, card gallery, games! See you there at the SCS forum.

For my latest additions I have tired my hand at a beach scene, one that I can regular at home. Can't you feel the wind through your hair and the sand under your feet? Not really! There are no palm trees on Pensacola beach, at least on the Gulf side, but there is plenty of sand and breeze.

Why is it that some cards you make look fabulous IRL while others look best in photos, this is one of those images that look best in a pictures! I thought the whole scene was very flat looking after coloring with my Copic Water, Sky, Flesh tones 2, and one green water based marker...........I didn't bring all my Copics so I don't have a bright green. After taking a picture I see it does not appear to look "flat" at all.







Now if I had time to sit at the beach to enjoy the sunshine and watch the ships sail by. Well enough of that, it's back to work.

Stamp set: Beach Life
Paper: Flourishes Classic White, Jennie Bowlin black line
Ink: Copic Natural blend Collection, water, sky, and flesh tone 2
Misc: Spellbinder inverted square
