Time for the sneaks to begin!

Hi all and welcome to day one of Flourishes Sneak Peeks for its Christmas release! We are starting early because we have FIVE new sets to unveil and want to make sure you see all of them in their full glory! Get ready for a fun and festive week ahead! There is definitely something for everyone on tap this week.Today, we start with a classic Christmas image and we know that it will be a favorite for years to come!

Introducing....

A beautifully adorned Christmas tree perfect for the season - that is what you get with this offering from Marcella Hawley called Trimmed With Love! Decked to perfection, this set features not only a main focal image but a mistletoe wreath, perfect for tags or packages, a handful of sentiments to adorn your cards or creations plus a trio of greetings designed to fit our Tailor-made Classic Tags Dies.

I stamped the large beautiful decked out tree on Flourishes Classic White card stock with Memento Rick Cocoa ink.  I used a sponge with the same ink to darken the edges of the panel…along with some distressing.   I then stitched around the panel and wrapped it with some kraft jute that I colored with a Copic Marker to make it a nice rich brown.



I stamped the sentiment on a die cut from Fancy Tags Two by Spellbinders.   I inked the center with the die in place.  I added a few buttons from Basic Grey Jovial to the kraft jute and mounted it all on patterned paper from Authentique Wonder.
