New Release from Flourishes llc Day One

This month there are 3 new stamp sets being released from Flourishes llc.  For my international readers, they do ship world wide.  Today I will be showcasing the Rose set.  Shown below is the actual stamp set and you can buy it here.  

For my first card I used the long stem rose stamp and stamped it with Adirondack black soot ink.  I used re-inkers and a water brush to color in my rose (pink pirouette, riding hood red & kiwi kiss).  I had really good control over the shading so this technique was perfect for this image.  I cut and embossed my rectangle panels using the large rectangle Nestabilities by Spellbinders.  The patterned paper is Basic Grey from the Infuse line.  Before glueing down my panels I ran green satin ribbon followed by sheer white ribbon around the dp and tied a bow.  Using a glue dot I adhered the button to the ribbon, glue dots are super strong and keep the buttons in place.  

For this card I used Kazan's sketch #15 from 2sketches4you

Here is my second card using the smaller rose.  This is a 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 square card.  White on white always looks so classy to me, so I cut and embossed white card stock using the Labels 1 die from Spellbinders (Flourishes sells these)  I stamped the image, colored it in and added my sentiment, then I made two small holes on either side of the stem and ran ribbon through the holes and tied a bow.  Let me back track for a second, the ribbon first goes around the front of the card, then up through the holes ready to be tied.  I added dimmensionals to the front panel to pop up the image a little and to keep it in place.  This rose was colored in using Copic markers.  After I finished the card, it was missing something so I added a piece of black card stock to the back of the card, the black makes the card pop.
