Let’s light the candles and strike up the music, the owner of Flourishes – Jan Marie Caruso – is celebrating a birthday and we’re helping her by getting the party started! Why not leave some love on the Flourishes blog HERE and while you are there, start to hop on through the Flourishes team members who are honoring her special day! Happy Birthday Jan Marie! Or hop on over to her blog directly and post your well wishes there.
For my birthday card I chose the brand new From the Desk Of Flourishes stamp set. I couldn’t wait to get this set and ordered it as soon as we could. It’s just soooo pretty and the image is so much fun to color.
I stamped the image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. It was cut and embossed with the largest Classic Square Nestabilities die and colored with Copic Markers (Flower petals: YR21, YR12, E25, Flower center: E25, E29, Leaves: YG01, YG03, YG17, Flower Pot: YR12, YR14, E25, E29, Letters: E0000, E30, E31, Pen: E21, E25, E29, C1, C3, C5, Ground: T0, T1, T3, Background: B0000, B000, B91, Bookmark: B91, B93, B95). The image was then adhered to a piece of Canyon Brown cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest Scallop Classic Square Nestabilities die and the edges were paper pierced.
A 4 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Echo Park For the Record patterned paper was stitched to a 1/4″ bigger piece of Canyon Brown cardstock. The layers were adhered to the card base, a 5″ x 12″ piece of Core’dinations cardstock folded in half.
Two 3″ long strips of Solar White cardstock were cut with Faux Crochet Die-namics die and adhered to a 2 1/4″ x 3″ strip of a different piece of For the Record paper pack. May Arts Brown Gingham ribbon was tied around it, before it was adhered to the bottom center of the card front. A bow was tied out of the same ribbon with the help of Bow-Easy, topped with a brad bought at my LSS and adhered over the ribbon strip.
The sentiment is from Flourishes Tag Lines . It was stamped in Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed with the medium die from the Tag Trio set. The tag was tied to the bow with waxed Linen. Bronze Kaisercraft Rhinestones finish off the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Please hop on over to the other designers celebrating Jan Marie’s birthday:
Have a wonderful day! Hugs and smiles

One of the things that struck me about this card right away was how beautifully matched your brad and flowers are. This is just gorgeous, Beate!
Another stunning beauty. I think the Flourishes stamps bring out the best in us all. They are always so pretty to color. Love the soft blue behind the image and how you picked that up in the card base. 🙂
