Hi all and welcome to the very first day of Flourishes Sneak Peeks for JUNE! It’s exciting because the sets being revealed this week aren’t just unique for June — they are part of an entire collection of stamp sets that will be released over the next year! It’s called the Blossom Collection and each set released under this name will be designed to coordinate with the other pieces for all types of occassions! Use one set on it’s own or slowly add to the collection — that’s the beauty of it!
Today’s set is the first part of this collection and features beautiful blooms perfect for summer!
Part of The Blossoms Collection, this beautiful array of summer blossoms illustrated by Marcella Hawley features a bouquet, corner stamps, and pieces to create your own borders or frames. Add in a trio of all occasion sentiments and you have the perfect set to create cards for every day correspondence. Set measures 4 by 6″ and is the perfect companion to sister sets Happily Ever After SS199 and Letters in Blossom SS198.

The design team has been busy creating beautiful things with this stunning set!
I stamped the big floral image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, colored it in Copic Markers (Yellow flowers: Y13, Y15, Y17, YR16, YR18, E97, w3, E29 Red Flowers: R20, R21, R22, YR16, E97 Berries: R24, R29, R29 Leaves: YG11, YG13, YG17 Shading: C00, C3). The image was cut and embossed with the largest of the Classic Oval Nestabilities die and the edges were sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink.
It was adhered to a piece of Kraft cardstock, which was cut free hand into a slightly larger oval layer. The layers were adhered to a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest of the Floral Oval Nestabilities dies.
Two pieces of My Mind’s Eye Lost and Found 2 Rosy patterned paper were cut and embossed with the second smallest Grand Rectangle Nestabilities die. The edges were sanded and stitched before May Arts ribbon was tied around the horizontal strip and topped with a button. The layer was then adhered to the card base, white cardstock, cut and embossed with a second smallest Grand Scallop Rectangle die.
A sentiment from Summer Blossoms was stamped in Tuxedo Black ink on a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with a Fancy Tag One die. The embossed parts of the tag were sponged and the sentiment was adhered to the lower right of the image. Rhinestones finish off the card.
