Beautiful World Tour - Citrus Colors

Welcome to the July Beautiful World Tour, brought to you by Flourishes! Each month the team presents a themed blog hop, hosted by our group of international designers... we are literally spread out all over the globe!  At the heart of our projects is the idea of truly showcasing beauty in card making – whether it just be in a beautifully colored image, a fabulous way to incorporate an embellishment or a new twist on a card layout.

If you just happened on the blog hop today because you're a regular reader of my blog, and you'd like to view the entire hop list, last month's winner, and details, you can start back at the Flourishes Blog. If you're already hopping and you've just come from there, you're doing just fine. High fives!

This month we've been challenged to work with citrus colors! What a fun summer palette. I used this color prompt from Design Seeds for inspiration, and threw in a little extra orange for good measure.

The floral bouquet image is from the Spring Bouquet set - it's beautiful and so versatile because of its large size.

I stamped the image several times in Memento Potter's Clay ink then colored in the panel using Prismacolor pencils.

The sentiment is from the Hydrangea set.

To achieve the ruffly effect on my sheer ribbon, I heated it carefully with my heat tool.

Leave comments for all our designers and you could WIN A FREE FLOURISHES STAMP SET!! Comments will be accepted until the end of the month, and a random comment will be chosen by one of our designers - but we're not telling which one! The more comments you leave, the better your chance of winning will be.

From here you'll be traveling on to.........
