New Beginnings Calendar February

Hello Friends!  I was missing my Flourishes stamps...so I'll have 2 days of posting with my beloved Flourishes.

One of the gifts I made this year was a Calendar for my Sister-in-Law and matching cards for each month.  I had posted January's Set in this post, and a number of you asked to see the rest of the months, so as we go along in the year I'll be posting what each month looked like.  She loved the gift by the way, and I was really happy with how it came together.  So here's February...

February's flower in the Year in Flowers sets from Flourishes is a Primrose, and when I looked up some of the colors of Primrose, this beautiful deep electric blue was one of them.  Did you know that Primrose is a great Valentine Day gift idea...it's meaning is First Love, or I Can't Live Without You.  The site I went to called it the "ultimate in romantic gifts, a primrose shows your enduring love".  :)  Thought you'd enjoy that bit of trivia for today!

So above is the pair together and now I'll show you them separately. 

I kept all the details quite simple on this as you can see.  

And I mimicked the design of the calendar page on the card, using a pretty fancy brad as accent on the sentiment, but I can't remember where it's from!  

I really like the vibrancy of the leaves and the paper with it, it's Memory Box Enchanted.  

I'll be back tomorrow with the Pre-Release Challenge card from Flourishes!  Wait till you see the new sets for February!  YUM!  Sneak peeks start Wednesday the 12th.
