Flourishes - “Summer Botanicals”
Today’s card is made using the “Summer Botanicals” set which is one of this week’s newly released sets by Flourishes.
I colored directly onto the coneflower stamp using my SU! markers. I love this technique, and “Summer Botanicals” is a gorgeous solid image floral set that makes it so easy to do.
Aren’t these fabulous!! Check out Barb, Faith, Julie, Leslie and Linda’s blogs to see some more examples using this week’s new releases from Flourishes.
