It is time for the FLOURISHES JUNE PRE-RELEASE CHALLENGE!!! June is such a beautiful month! Everything is blooming and you see the wonderful colors and textures of nature! In just a few short days we'll be unveiling a new round of stamps at Flourishes inspired by the outdoors. We're really excited to show them to you.
So today, we're challenging you to be inspired by the *TEXTURES* of nature!
As you can tell, I've used serval different textures...piercing or also called *faux stitching*, embossing and the corrugated kraft board. Even my metal brad has some texture on top :) !!!
HERE IS HOW YOU CAN PLAY ALONG: Create something with an outdoorsy texture in mind - or use an element from nature as part of your design. It could be the texture in an embossing folder that has woodgrain, leaves or vines, it could be a leaf rubbing behind your image, something glossy like rain or shiny like a berry. The interpretation is up to you! If you play along with us, you could WIN THE ENTIRE FLOURISHES JUNE STAMP RELEASE!!!

I've never posted on a blog before -- honest! -- but I HAD to post here. Silke, I absolutely adore your cards! This one is particularly lovely. I just purchased this stamp a few weeks ago, and I've been holding off using it until I get "inspired" -- I think this card may have done it!
WOW Silke!!! Not a doily in sight and all that lovely texture so beautifully applied mirroring the picture so exquisitely. LOVE that stamp. It's a must have! xxx
Gorgeous card Silke. Love the tulips and your coloring is fantastic. TFS
This layout is divine Ms. Silke! I love, love, love the pop of red and the way you colored up those gorgeous tulips! Beautiful girl!
Gorgeous!!!!! Lots of pretty texture here...such a pretty vase of tulips!!
WOW! That pop of red is just singing to me! You really create the most perfect cards and styles :)
Super beautiful, Silke!! Awesome card design and I love the mix of DP and textures.
