Good morning! Are you all staying healthy? Our family has been hit pretty hard with Influenza...actually the only one that escaped getting it is my DH (lucky duck!!)! I think we are all finally starting on the mend though, and I can't tell you how glad I will be to get our normal routine back!
Last night, Flourishes released six brand new Christmas sets and they are all available at Stamper's Dream! I've mentioned it before, but I have a MAJOR thing for wreaths!! Love, love, love them! So when Michelle sent me this Christmas Wreath set I squealed with delight! If there ever was a gorgeous, elegant, & completely beautiful wreath stamp, then this is it!!
One thing I have to tell you...when I first sat down to stamp with this I was intimidated! You see, I'm not a color-er by nature. I have to really work at it. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this is one of the easiest images to color! Really!! All the shading is done for you (they are already drawn in)! I showed this card to my DH (who is not easily impressed - I think he would make an excellent card critic LOL!!), and the first thing he said was, "Wow! Your coloring is wonderful!". So...a stamp that can make anyone look like an artist, well count me in!! LOL! :-)
There is more Flourishes inspiration to be seen over at Amy & Tosh's blogs!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a lovely weekend! ~Laurie
