We're back today with previews of the second set in Flourishes Year of Flowers Calendar set. Oh my these are beautiful images to work with. I have 2 versions of a July calendar, using the same Tigerlily image. I think it might be my favorite in this collection!
This uses the calendar download and the Tiger lily image. I coloured it with my Copic markers using the Tigerlily collection and paired it with Basic Grey's "Ambrosia" designer paper. Incidentally, the calendar set does have the months paired with the name of the corresponding flower images, however, they were a teensy bit too large to fit on the tab, and it seemed redundant on the calendar, so they are not on these calendars. "July" is from an old calendar set and it's not near as classy as the Flourishes version, but it fit.
Here is the second version. This one I sized to display in a CD case, which is such a nice presentation. The image was cut with the Labels 4 Nestability and the background was sponged before removing the paper from the die. I used the same Basic Grey "Ambrosia" paper and Fiskar's Apron Lace border punch. Here's a close up of the flower. What a beauty!
Let's see what the rest of the team has been up to with this set!
