FLOURISHES AUGUST PRE-RELEASE CHALLENGE!!!!

Happy TGIF!!!

The month of August has rolled in and many of us are beginning to think ahead to Autumn (oh Summer, please stay a little longer!). 

That's why FLOURISHES is throwing a fun COLOR CHALLENGE at you that mixes Summer and Autumn colors together and we are challenging you to create something with the potential to WIN our August New Releases



Here are the colors.....a lovely TEAL, a RICH RUST and a NEUTRAL GRAY. What we love about this challenge is that all of these colors can be found in our Flourishes Color Made Easy Collections....... Emerald Coast, Terra Cotta and either Cool Neutrals 
or Tonal Neutrals, isn't that great?

Some of the Flourishes Design Team were blessed to be able to gather together just a few weeks ago in Yellowstone National Park for a wonderful weekend. We realized that there was some beautiful scenery right in front of us that matched the colors of our challenge this month, so we thought we'd show that off to you as well...
