It's time for Flourishes March sneak peeks to get under way! You know how much I love Flourishes stamps, right?! Well, THIS month's sets are so absolutely fabulous, I am just bursting at the seams to show you!!!
Today's sneak peak is Lenten Rose, and is about the most beautiful floral set I have ever laid my eyes on...seriously. You can't help but make a gorgeous card with this stamp set! I mean...LOOK at that image.... Am I right?!!
My card is 5-1/4" square, and uses some pretty new Minuet patterned paper from Memory Box. I air-brushed the background and tag with Copic markers. I then colored the image in using Copic markers as well. Here's a close up:
I tied a pretty baby blue Cotton Linen ribbon through the tag, and added some white button thread and pretty leaf stick pins to accent it. It's hard to tell in the photos; but I added Glossy Accents to the water to make it shiny.
Here are the Copic markers I used:
Now you need to hop on over to see the drool-worthy creations of the rest of the design team. You are in for some SERIOUS eye-candy, my friends!

This is absolutely gorgeous!! Not just the image but the way you've put this all together. I like the way you've cut it outside the box; the little leaf pins; and the glossy accents on the glass! Wonderful card.

Gorgeous card. outstanding job on your coloring. WHen you use Copics and Prismacolors, do you color the whole flower with the copics and then add shading with the Prismacolor pencils?
