Flourishes Sneak: Day one, Strawberries

Hey there!  Today I'm showing you a sneak peek of the newest Flourishes stamp set, Strawberries.  I absolutely love coloring with this set, it is just so fresh!  Make sure you head on over to the Flourishes Newsletter, for a one day only blog candy for your chance to win this set. I used Flourishes new Classic White card stock on both of my cards, its just perfect for coloring with Copic markers.
"hello"
For this circle card, I scored the card as usual, then got a scalloped circle Spellbinders nestabilitie which I then cut and embossed.  I had the image already colored (used Copic markers), so I grabbed another circle die that would nest in the scalloped card base. To finish off the card I tied a bow using some twill and attached a button to the center.

"you're so sweet"
For this card, I just wanted a clean and crisp summer card that would show off the basket.  Anytime you use black as a layer or as and embellishment it will make your project pop, so I layered the white circular panel onto black card stock..  To add some contrast I added some yellow gingham ribbon and tied a bow.  After I stamped the sentiment, it seemed a little lonely so, I took some Kaiser red pearls and created a heart to go around it.


Be sure to take a little blog hop to visit the rest of the designers showing off this set!

gosh... there is no way I would be able to decide which one I love better! I love the bling you added on the second card in a heart and the first one -- beautiful coloring and love that round shape!! Two beauties!
I thing the scalloped circle card is just stunning Latisha, the colors against the white just POP! And that sweet heart around the sentiment with the basket is so adorable!
