Welcome to Flourishes March Releases! We're starting out with a gorgeous set today. Marcella created this beautiful wreath of all different types of peonies, and the set combines that beautiful wreath with some wonderful quotes from Mother Teresa. You'll really love the creations from the Design Team today.
I wanted to do a peachy-pink palette with this wreath today, so I colored the peonies up with my prismacolor pencils with lots of warmth. It's a simple layout really, 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch square card, lots of sewing texture in the paper and silk ribbons.
I've sponged and stamped the sentiment on vellum so that it allows the flowers to show through underneath.
You might be able to just see them...because of the theme of love in the quote I accented the card with some faceted hearts. It's a subtle touch.
So...please check out the rest of the Design Team today they have beautiful things to show you!
