Here's my card....
It's a VERY straight-forward CAS card. I doubled up some stars on foam tape, stamped a birthday sentiment, and added some jute string with adhesive silver pearls.

Timeless Tuesday #225
Hi all! I'm hosting this week's Timeless Tuesday challenge, and my challenge to you is to create a card or project with scallops. Simple as that!
Here's my card:
I used the newly released S'more Fun. The image and sentiment are stamped in Memento tuxedo black onto some patterned paper from my Fair Skies paper pad, I added a couple die-cut scallop strips in black and white, a stitched flag and brad up in the corner, and rounded the corners of the classic white card base. I love this layout....so simple and quick!

Timeless Tuesday #224
Hi everyone. It's Day 1 of Flourishes' sneak peeks AND you'll get an opportunity to WIN our entire new June release just by playing along. For the remainder of this week, we will be sharing our newest stamp sets with you on the Flourishes Blog.
Since Sneak Peek Day 1 overlaps with the Timeless Tuesday Challenge, we have some amazing projects showcasing our newest beautiful floral set by Marcella Hawley.
This set features a spray of wildflowers along with some wonderful heartfelt sentiments.
For this challenge, create a card or project that moves or opens in a non-traditional manner (FTTC224). Give it a third panel like a tri-fold card or give it a greeting tag that pops up when you pull a ribbon. There are lots of fun tutorials for different kinds of "fun folds" you can try. Hop on over to the Flourishes Blog where you can find a list of clickable links.
For my project, I made a 4.25" easel card.
Today we have both our Flourishes Finest Design Team AND our Friends of Flourishes Team sharing their "Open Sesame" inspirations with you. Take a moment and leave some love on all of our designers' blogs...because there's another way to win this week. Hidden among the Design Team is one designer who has this set to give away. Comment on that blog and you could win today's beautiful Picking Wildflowers set. :)
Have an awesome Tuesday!

Color Throwdown #245
Hi all! Tammy is back over at the Color Throwdown and she's kicking off June with some very fun colors. Check it out...
Here's my card using a die and sentiment from Verve, and cloud dies from Lil' Inker Designs.
There are two butterflies stacked on top of one another and they're each up on foam tape. The clouds are also up on foam tape. Papers are My Mind's Eye Tangerine and the adhesive pearls were colored with Copics (YG23, RV25, and YR65). The layout was inspired by this card by Jen del Muro that I saw on Pinterest.

Timeless Tuesday #222
Hi everyone. Our Timeless Tuesday challenge this week is being hosted by Deborah and she's challenging us to make a card/project with a "summer days" theme. Summer is my favorite season so I was excited about this one.
For my card, I used my most favorite Flourishes set; Wild For Watermelon. It's such a fun set! The watermelon was stamped on classic white CS in Memento tuxedo black and colored Copics from my Dogwood, Green Grass, and Warm Neutral Collections. The main image was die-cut with a Spellbinders blossom die and popped up on foam tape. The green patterned paper and wide pink ribbon are from my Prairie Chic 1-2-3 Create Kit. It's finished off with some pink twine and machine stitching.

Hi all! It's a BUTTERFLY theme for this week's Timeless Tuesday Challenge. Loooooooove butterflies so I was really excited about this one! :)
I stamped three butterflies from Old Tea Rose with Memento cocoa onto classic ivory CS. They were then colored with Copics from the Dogwood Collection, cut out by hand, and popped up on foam tape. The patterned paper, ivory crochet ribbon, and the pink rhinestone button are from my Prairie Chic 1-2-3 Create Kit. I added some pink twine and Stickles to the butterflies to finish it off.

Timeless Tuesday #220
It's Timeless Tuesday and Broni is our hostess. She's picked a color challenges for us this week....blues and greens....ahhhhh, love blues and greens together!
For my card, I used one of the stamp sets from Flourishes' April release, Bees and Blooms. The flower is stamped in Memento bamboo leaves on classic white CS, the sentiment is stamped in Memento tuxedo black, it's die cut with a Spellbinders blossom die, and popped up on foam tape. The patterned papers, denim ribbon, and green plaid ribbon are all from the new Prairie Chic 1-2-3 Create Kit. Some "crazy stitching" with my sewing machine and some adhesive pearls finish it off.
