I sure haven't used my Flourishes Christmas sets enough; I have only two, and they've been pretty much unused until now. Am I crazy? They are terrific stamps!
I am playing in the Flourishes Noel challenge, and the theme is Blue Christmas. So, I used shades of icy blue, with some gold embossing thrown in to glam it up.

Colleen this is so pretty. I love this ice blue and how the image just sparkles and shines. This layout is just so super fantastic. I love the background behind the sentiment. Beautiful card!

What a beauty, Colleen! I have an ornament that looks a lot like this. Your gold treatment is wonderful and I love, love your sentiment panel.

You certainly did glam this up with your gold embossing!! Looks fabulous. And I love that great icy blue DP you used. Stunning!! And a super job with the RI sketch, too
Hey, yes, you should definitely check out Meg's tutorial on the brayer work. Her technique is genius--solves so many of the problems that I'd had (and was terribly disappointed by) with my brayer work!
