Flourishes Sneak Peek: Congrats!

Hi all! We're in the thick of things now here at Flourishes and it's on to day 2 of Flourishes Release Week Sneaks! (If you missed Day 1, feel free to click HERE!) Today, we have the end of a fabulously popular collection that is designed to give the inside and outside of your cards an endless supply of mix and match sentiments!

Introducing…..

Give the inside and outside of your cards a bit of pizzazz with these mix and match sentiments that are perfect for those 'Atta Boy' cards of congratulations! These fun scripted and print words are designed to be used together or apart on the inside or outside of your creations! This set, by Becky Fleck, measures 4" by 3". If you like what you see on the designers' blogs, you can pre-order this set HERE now! You could also find it HERE as a part of our New Release Bundle for March (you save 10% when you purchase as a bundle!) All three of our new sets will be unveiled on Friday. So.... stay tuned!

For my card, I paired the In & Out Congrats set with the Zinnias set.  I began with a Classic Ivory cardstock base, and added some pretty patterned papers from My Mind's Eye's Memorable collection.  The Pink Aster Seam Binding and Candy Pink Button are from the Candy Pink Color Made Easy Collection.

I stamped the sentiment in Ranger Victorian Velvet Distress Ink and Ranger Peeled Paint Distress Ink.  I then die-cut it with the Perfectly Pierced Victorian Ovals die set, and air-brushed the background with a BG10 Copic marker.  The zinnias were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, cut out, and colored with the following Copic Marker Collections:

Inside my card I stamped the image in Ranger Peeled Paint Distress Ink, the sentiment in Ranger Victorian Velvet Distress Ink, and added a couple of strips of patterned paper down the side.
