I am so excited about today's Flourishes release! It's called Zinnias, and is one GORGEOUS floral set from the ever-so-talented Marcella Hawley.
For my sample, I went with sunshiny yellow. I used the Spellbinders Labels Twenty One die for my card base, as well as some of the layers. I really like the fun shape of this one. :)
I colored the image on Flourishes Classic White card stock using Copic markers in the following collections: Spring Greens, Sunflower, and Water.
The ribbons are yellow crocheted trim, white braided cord, and pale yellow cotton satin.
Check out the gorgeous samples made by the rest of the design team:
