With Easter fast approaching, the gals at Flourishes thought we’d have a little ‘Easter Parade’ to showcase some fun creations perfect for this time of year. You should know, some of the gals used a set that is on its way to retirement. With a very limited supply, Easter Bunnies is being offered right now at 40% off! So hop on down the bunny trail and take a peek at our Easter offerings!
I really love this Easter Lily from the Lily of Hope set, and seriously, it's only $8! It has the perfect size for cards, and the perfect amount of detail for coloring. I pulled out my watercolors today and gave it the color of my daylilies that bloom, not at Easter, but later in the summer.
I cut my Labels 13 Spellbinders in half to accent the sides of the main image and matched the polkadots to my ribbon as well. I added some brand new Ultrafine Flower Soft too in the stamens (thank you Cindy Lawrence for the idea :) ) This new ultrafine texture is super easy to work with.
Alright - would you like some more spring-time and Easter inspiration? Head on over to my team mates - new and old (drop a warm welcome over to Danielle, it's her first Flourishes creating day!)
