For my card I decided I wanted to play with blues!  There is something so rich and beautiful about blue hues.

To begin, I cut a piece of "Kevin Burlap" blue and "Evening Surf" blue cardstock from the "True Blue" Color Made Easy Cardstock collection.  I stamped all of the beautiful blooms from the NEW "Chrysanthemum" stamp set using dark blue ink.  Then I took my Periwinkle Letraset Aquamarker and outlined each bloom.

Then I die cut a circle form Flourishes' Classic White Cardstock and stamped m sentiment and more blossoms from the "Chrysanthemum" stamp set.  I inked up the edges of my image in the die using some Ranger "Tumbled Glass" Distress Ink.  Before adhering it down, I added some of my favourite ribbon, White Seam Binding and a spot of bling.


To finish off my card this week, I cut more "Kevin Burlap" blue and "Evening Surf" blue cardstock from the "True Blue" Color Made Easy Cardstock collection and stamped a few more Chrysanthemum images and a quick sentiment on the inside.


Super fun and easy to make!  For further challenge details, please visit the Flourishes blog HERE.
