Chairs to You!

Good morning! What a fun Friday! Check out the Flourishes blog today... I'm on there!!!! Why? Well, Julie Koerber asked her blog readers a while back what stamp sets we thought were missing out there, that we'd like to see. I left her a little comment with the thought that immediately popped into my head--chairs! Chairs??? Yep, chairs... and guess what? She liked the idea and passed it along to the gals at Flourishes, and they made a chair set, along with a few sentiments that I suggested! I even got a chance to play with the set early. Want to see what I did?


I used basically the same materials for both cards: WorldWin Doublemates Fairy Tale Pink double color cardstock, Fabriano watercolor paper, My Mind's Eye Bohemia Blossom "Angel" Small Damask, SU! Chocolate Chip CS, Oval Nestabilities, Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder & Big Shot
dimensionals, Memento Rich Cocoa Ink, Watercolor Crayons in shades of brown and pink, SU! retired ruffled ribbon and narrow chocolate grosgrain, Kaisercraft Blush Pearls, assorted punches.


What a fun set to work with! Make sure you see what the fabulous Flourishes design team did with it too! Julie has them all linked from her blog post. Thanks so much, Julie and Flourishes (and their fabulous new artist, Lauren Pope) for liking my idea!!!
