Flourishes Timeless Tuesday, CC210, CCEEC Chicks need to stick together...


Happy Tuesday!!!

Welcome to another round of Flourishes Timeless Tuesday!!! This week the fabulous Cindy Haffner is hosting this Challenge. She is challenging us to use *RIBBON* !!! You may think…Ribbon??? I use Ribbon all the time. Of course, you do!!! We all do!!! But wait there is a little twist!!!

You may only use a certain type of ribbon all the time…yet you hoard a boat load of others. It is time to cut those ribbons that bind you….LOL!!! Try to venture from your normal comfort zone or try to use ribbon in a different way. Do not fret, though. If you are not feeling awfully adventurous, any card with some ribbon will do!!!! We would love to see what you do either way!!!

Show off your fab Flourishes Set's as well and play along!!! If you don't own any Flourishes Stamps yet, make sure to play along anyway, because you might be the lucky one that will win the prize...!!! Please use the keyword *FTTC7* if you post on SCS!!! More info and all the Samples can be viewed over on the Flourishes Blog!!!

For my card today I used the beautiful *All Wrapped Up* Set and the sentiment is from the *Chairs For You* Set. I thought this would be the perfect image to use, since it goes with the *Ribbon* theme.....LOL!!!

The colors are Rose Red, Pink Pirouette and White (PTI). I added the yummy Purely Pomegranate Satin Ribbon. To finish it all off I placed some Silver Brads on the left side of the image and also added some Shimmerz to the whole image.

If you like swing by every ones blog to see their close ups - Becca Feeken, Betty Wright, Cindy Haffner, Dee Jackson and Kimberly Crawford.

***********************************************

In honor of our DT Member Stacy Morgan - *Twinshappy* being the Featured Stamper #110 this week - I thought I'd continue with another little project!!!

Not only was I inspired by Stacy's awesome *Gift Set*, but once I saw my friends Denise's case I knew I wanted to try this with another fabulous Flourishes Set's. I also made a similar card with these Curved Rectangle Nestie's not to long ago for the FTTC5 - you can view it HERE!!!

I used one of my all time favorite Color Combo's - Real Red, Basic Black and White (PTI).

This flower is from the *Thank You* Set. I colored it with Copic Markers - R29, G07 and N1. At last I added the Silver Brads and the Shimmerz and the Black Satin Ribbon!!!

I wish I would had the time to created the purse that goes along with these Note Cards, but I guess I'll have to continue with it this week and show it off all together when I'm done!!!

BTW - if you've never tried Shimmerz before, let me tell you it's easy as 1-2-3 !!! You just add a little bit of the liquid substance onto a fine paint brush and add it to your image - voila!!! They come in all kinds of colors too....so don't be intimated and add some sparkle to your cards!!! It really adds just the right amount of elegance to your project/card!!!

*******************************************

OMG - I was dying to play the CC210 this morning....and finally Jenn rescued the day!!! What fabulous colors she has chosen - Kraft, Summer Sun and Riding Hood Red (Real Red opt.).


I immediately thought of this awesome Set from Flourishes called *Sign of Spring*!!! Since it's a Flourishes kinda day with the Ribbon Challenge going on it was the perfect choice for me....as I was browsing the blogs a bit - I came a cross the fabulous ladies over at the CCEE sight and they have a Sketch Challenge going on...perfect match for the image I've used!!! Thank you CCEE ladies because of you it came all together fairly quickly!!!

Anyway - I hope you like what I have created??? I'm looking forward seeing what you'll come up with for this Challenge!!!

Have a wonderful day!!! ~TFL~

I especially love the first card with the presents! It's so lovely. I have always wished that Flourishes shipped to Canada. Sigh, it was not meant to be.

TFS!

What a post for of amazing wonderfulness!! Gosh, that first card is pretty- great colors and somehow your silver brads look prettier than mine! You must have the best silver brads out there. LOL! And I can't put my finger on what it is about that last card but man I like it!! Could be colors, layout or simplicity or the combination of the three. Yes, that's it! Very soothing for my taste!!
