Happy first Friday in 2014!! We want to extend our best wishes to each of you for the New Year!
Since this is the Friday before
Flourishes new release, you are probably wondering where our Pre-Release Challenge is? Well, we decided to let the Friends of Flourishes gals run this month's challenge! Be sure to tune in next Tuesday and play along with the
Release Week Timeless Tuesday Challenge! We'll have
three winners that week for the
FULL release! Play along as many times as you want for multiple chances to
win!
Now for some fun today, the Flourishes Senior Design Team has a bit of beautiful variety to show off. Some of the team got to play with Becky Fleck’s new round of
January Sketches at PageMaps and others on the team are going to surprise you with some of their own creativity.
I was one of the lucky ladies to receive a fabulous sketch from Becky and here is the amazing sketch I was given...

for more fabulous sketches to be revealed on Saturday!
I just loved the sketch that Becky sent me! I decided to create a simple boy birthday card. I think I'll end up using it as a birthday card for my husband and send it to him at work so he has something on his desk from Spencer and I this year.
I started my 5x7 card by creating a card base using
Classic White Cardstock. I also cut 4 identical rectangles from the same cardstock and stamped my sweet images from the new "
Lots of Thought" stamp collection in navy ink. I coloured each image using
Copic Markers and matted them with red cardstock.
For my sky back ground, I stamped the sun/cloud image from the now retired "
April Showers" stamp set. I used my Copic airbrush and colouring in between the clouds. My large "
Happy Birthday" sentiment is is from the "
Sentimental Favorites" stamp set.
Such a simple card but super cute!
Join these lovely ladies for some fabulous inspiration to kick-off your New Year!
I'm also entering this card for the
CASology challenge for this past 2 weeks...
