Flourishing Phrases and Flourish Dies

It's really entertaining to go through your scrap stack.  I

often have dies cuts, sentiments and other surprises.

For this card, I pulled out some retiring Flourish Dies 

flowers.  I used the sentiment from the retiring

Flourishing Phrases set.  I love this set, for both it's dies

and the many beautiful sentiments.  It is both elegant and

useful.

Tropical Chic

I've been going back and falling back in love with sets

that will be retiring in less than a month.  This is Tropical

Chic with the coordinating Tropical Dies.

 I decided to use some of the retiring In Colors 

(Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove and Pineapple Punch)

with the See a Silhouette DSP.  That background of reds

and oranges makes the card look like it's glowing. 

Since most of us have not traveled in a while,

this might be the closest I get to a sunny beach!

Magnolia Lane Rectangles with You Always Deliver

This is another card that I did for Friday's Rectangles

challenge.  I used the Stitched Rectangles dies to cut

pieces of the Magnolia Lane DSP.  The sentiment comes 

from my all time favorite, retiring, You Always Deliver

set.  I decided to add a little sparkle with several strips

of the Sparkle Glimmer Paper.  The Petal Pink layer

was run through the Subtles 3D folder and sponged 

with Versa Mark
