This is one special day today....Welcome to our 100th Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Blog Hop!!! I can't even begin to tell you how blessed and lucky I'm to design for Flourishes! I've been with this team for a little over 2 years and it seems like yesterday when Julie contacted me to design for Flourishes....and may I just say I almost fell of my chair and my hands were shaking....LOL!!! I truly love Flourishes!!! Not only do they have the most gorgeous images, the sweetest owners & staff, but I'm also blessed to create amongst these fabulous ladies!!! I'm also thrilled that we have so many stamper's that follow us and play with us!!! Hope you all come and help us celebrate this special occasion!!!
Remember we are giving away some awesome prizes!!! Make sure to read all the information on how to play in the Blog Hop right HERE!!!
The Blog Hop theme was to *USE YOUR FAVORITE*.....here are some of mine.........
Flourishes has gorgeous flower images ~ which are one of my favorites ~ and my first card is featuring the Butterflies & Blossoms Set. The sentiment was borrowed from the equally gorgeous Set Humming Along. The beautiful Spring colors were inspired by Mona's CR84FN10 Challenge....definitely one of my favorite Challenges too!!!
The image was inked in Memento Black and colored with Copic Markers. I embellished the card with one of my favortite Ribbons May Arts White Silk. I also added some Beaded Silver Cording...which was my favorite during the holiday season and now I'm completely out and I have to wait till next season :)....sniff !!!
I finished my card off with a matching Button, Silver Pearls and of course some Dazzling Diamond Glitter....voila!
**************************************************************************
Onto my second card....Flourishes also has some beautiful sentiments and I'm showing them off on this card using these Thinking Of You and the Many Sentiments Sets.
Did I mention I L.O.V.E the Webster Design Paper??? Definitely another favorite of mine!!! The paper alone is amazing and it surely can make the entire card look beautiful!!! For this card I chose the Petite Papers ~ Hollywood Vogue & WonderFall Collection (unfortunately it's sold out the store right now, but please check back!) The sentiment was stamped onto a Tag Die and I embellished it with some Black Satin Ribbon, a Anna Griffin Brad and some sweet flowers my friend Sabrina Jackson mailed me!!!
Thank you so much for stopping by today...have fun hopping!!! I'll see you later...hugs ~S~

Hi
Traduction (français > anglais)
I love your blog, I will go and sign up for your newletter. I want to know what is the string that you pass in your yellow button on the card with the flowers. I noticed on your blog that you use it a lot and I'm looking in stores here in Canada and I have not found. Could you tell me what exactly is and where I can get.
A big big BRAVO! for your blog, it is simply magnificent.
good day and continues to impress us with your beautiful creations.
Thank you
