New Year Release Time At Flourishes

From The Heart

Hello and welcome to day one of Flourishes' fabulous sneak peeks for January! We have three new sets coming your way designed to deliver a little love to someone else's life! The calendar might say winter but we're sure these Valentine sets will WARM your heart!

This classic set -- called From the Heart -- penned by Becky Fleck offers an antique flavor for Valentine's Day! An ornate heart stands as a focal point and is a perfect companion to Spellbinders Classic Heart Nestabilities die (S4-136) and Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Heart Nestabilities Dies (S4-137). A curled banner is the perfect accent -- allowing a few of the sentiments to be stamped inside!

The first time I saw the design for the Acanthus heart I freaked thinking it would be hard to color. Boy was I mistaken!! Not only was it easy but it was tons of fun making my card. Then once I finished I set the finished card on my desk so every time I look up from my chair I see what looks like a vintage valentine.

Stamp set is From The Heart, with paper in the 1 2 3 create kit Sweet Nothing (limited supply so don't wait), Spellbinder Classic Heart and Scallop Classic Heart die. Copic colors R81, R83, R85, and touch of R89. Range distress ink Antique Linen was used on both hearts. After this picture was taken I darkened the ink on the scalloped heart, that gave it an even more vintage feel to the card.  The lace comes in the Create Kit.


Would you like to win this set? All you need to do is leave some love in the form of a comment on the blogs below! Why? You need to try to figure out which DT is the...........
Each day there is a Mystery Blogger on the design team. To win today's stamp set, leave a comment on the mystery bloggers blog and you will be in the running. How easy!!
