Summertime, summertime sweet sweet summertime! We're coming up on Flourishes' latest release and it's so summer! Today, we are previewing another fabulous set illustrated by Marcella Hawley; "Strawberries". It's sweet and delicious and oh so summertime! You're gonna eat this up!
When I saw this basket of strawberries it really made me want a picnic! Think gingham tablecloths, fried chicken in a basket and fresh strawberries! Throw in a frisbee and I'm there! I pulled out my Jenni Bowlen designer papers, aptly named "Spring Picnic Line", and went from there. I stamped the basket of strawberries in Memento Tuxedo Black on Flourishes Classic White paper and coloured it with my brand new Copic markers!!! I'm so excited. I'm quite the novice yet, but with all the tutorials and videos that Flourishes has created since they introduced the Copics, I think I will be just fine. I used the Poppy Collection for the strawberries, the Evergreen collection for the leaves and the Flesh Tones 1 collection for the basket. I added some blue May Art's trim from Flourishes and the sentiment dangles from a tag tied with red gingham ribbon from my stash. Two buttons on the top left and two teeny red rhinestones on the bottom of the tag balance it out! Yummy!
You really need to see the rest of this set, it is delectable! So hop around to the rest of the design team's blogs and feast your eyes!
