New Release - Seeds of Friendship

Ok...you LOVED yesterday's sets I know, but I have ANOTHER set I know you will love too!  And if you're a Flourishes Fan you'll love combining this gorgeous set with some of your other FLLC sets too, it will give everything new life. 

Summer is the time for planting and picking....and it's just the perfect set for that!  Your own seed packet with all the fixin's! 

Again I have 2 samples for you today....

You know the old vintage crate labels that would come on fruit crates?  Vibrant colors, rich feeling...that's what I was going for here. 

I took the new Seeds of Frienship set and stamped it with Stazon on watercolor paper, as well as the Grown with Love sentiment.  Then I took out my reinkers and markers and set to work watercoloring these gorgeous peaches from the Cherries and Peaches set.  I took my colors from this gorgeous new 7Gypsies Victoria paper.  The colors were just right to me, and look at that, there's some Wild Wasabi Green, before the other day, I can't remember the last time I used that color!  A little Square Lattice embossing folder on the Baja Breeze layer, some sewing, and some beautiful Ivory Crochet Trim, Floral Accent Shapeabilities, and pearls makes for a fun vibrant card. 

Next is the card I first envisioned when I saw this set.  And gratefully it came out just like in my little noggin.  

I've combined my new favourite Cherry Blossoms set  with the Seeds of Friendship on Flourishes Classic White Cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  But!  I used two separate layers.  The Cherry Blossoms are on a single layer and the seed packed is popped up like a frame.  I just cut out the center of the stamped seed packet to form the frame and wound this gorgeous pink silk ribbon around it.

The coloring is done with Copics using the Hollyhock Collection and BG0000 and BG01 in the background for shading, and some Meadow Collection greens

The papers are Memory Box Spearmint which I've sewn on.  And do you see that gorgeous crocheted heart?  My sweet friend and fellow FLLCDT partner Stacy made them and sent them to me, she's SO great.  I've added a button and half pearl inside the heart.  I love that this card turned out pretty and feminine. 

Now you'll see lots of wonderful creative things with this set at the DT girls' blogs, so head on over to Dawn, Danielle, Julie, Laura, Leslie, and Stacy to see what they've cooked up....and head to the Flourishes Blog to enter to win this fabulous set!  You won't be disappointed.
