Garden Picks


Are you ready for more Flourishes fun? If you missed yesterday’s Timeless Tuesday post, you missed the kick start of Flourishes August release! (And a chance to win it!) So, click HERE to check that out! Today, our fabulous designers are showing off a set that is fresh picked. It’s a bouquet of goodness fresh from the flower garden!

Freshly snipped from the garden, these herbs and florals are ready to be enjoyed. This set illustrated by Marcella Hawley features three different bouquets all designed to be set in an old fashioned mason jar for a down home feel. This 4″ by 6″ set also features two perfect all occasion sentiments as well. Wait until you see just how gorgesous this set is! If you like what you see on today’s designers’ posts, this set is available for pre-order now HERE!
Since I'm just getting back into the swing of things, I thought I'd go the Clean and Simple route with this one, using my Prismacolors on Kraft.  

I LOVE this set!  I think anything in a canning jar is awesome....and then you throw in Marcy's drawings it's amazing!  I think these flowers are peonies....but I made them into something a little different and more fall-like in autumn colors, a little bit like a garden rose.  I purchased a bunch of papers that were on sale earlier this summer and this is from one of those packs. I think it's pink paislee.   For accent I've used a strip of pretty ivory lace trim along the bottom, and then added some simple Candi in chipboard/Kraft to accent the design.
