If you play, you’ll be in the running to win all three of Flourishes' new releases for October. You have until Friday, October 15th at 5 PM EST to enter for your chance to win. Use Flourishes stamps if you have them but if you don’t, please play along anyway. If you upload to SCS, please use the keyword FLLCOCT10. Keep in mind, in order to be eligible, you need to link your creation HERE in this post using the inlinkz linky.

On to my creation!


It was funny, with this card, I created backwards. Instead of knowing what image I would use, I picked the papers instead. I just love the new Jovial line from BasicGrey -- it's my new holiday fave. After I layered it all up, and added some fun faux nailhead stickers, I added a tag sentiment (sentiment is from the Christmas Music set) and then... finally... picked out my image! I used the Christmas Tea set and then picked up my Copic markers to color (white card stock is Flourishes Classic White). The markers I used were BG10, BG000, YG63, YG99, R59, and R35. I added some glitz with the help of a Gelly Roll Stardust pen. And that.. is it!
The other members of the Flourishes DT took on this 'The Details are Sketchy' challenge too.. so hop on over and see...

Hope your week is wrapping up nicely! Have a great weekend and I'll see you all back here soon!
