Autumn Flourishes
I absolutely love Flourishes new Autumn Flourishes set! It’s so beautiful that I hope to use it well beyond Autumn and Thanksgiving so I thought I’d try it with a delicate and feminine look.
The dainty filigree leaves in the background are what first caught my eye with this set. They can be either the skeletonized leaves of late autumn or simply lacy, frilly, fancy leaves which are lovely any time of the year. I’m drawn to all things botanical and this set will make cards for many occasions, both feminine and masculine. Yes, I certainly do love these stamps!
The leaves are stamped in Palette Landscape (green) and Lavender Sachet. The sentiment is from Flourishes Mixed Greetings set. The satin ribbon and pretty lavender Kaiser flat-backed pearls can be found at Flourishes, as well.
I hope to share more with this set later. I spent the weekend out in the exceptionally beautiful weather and when I wasn’t outside I was visiting with friends and shopping for furniture. That didn’t leave much time for stamping. Life is so full of things to do! Have a great day!
- Stamps: Autumn Flourishes, Mixed Greetings (both from Flourishes)
- Paper: Prism Iced Azalea light, Memory Box Meadow, Neenah Classic Solar White
- Ink: Palette Landscape, Lavender Sachet and Noir
- Accessories: Ribbon, pearls, oval Nestabilities, Scotch brand foam mounting tape
Leslie, wow I love these colors. Great job!

Very beautiful, love the soft colors.
Beautiful card Leslie - I don’t comment as often as I should (I read your blog everyday) but your work is always wonderful and inspirational. I don’t know if I’ve not seen this set or if I just didn’t appreciate it until now. Thanks for sharing. Dru
Leslie, I gasp whenever I open your posts! I declare, you have a way with stamps! You take them and breathe life into them with a quiet stated elegance.
How pretty. The colors are so refreshing. The leaves are so unqiue and delicate. Love it.
Leslie, this is so beautiful! I loved your Autumn cards with this image, and this colorway is just as gorgeous!
Leslie! I never would have thought of an “autumn” set in these colors! It’s purple so you know I love it! You are enabling me again! Thanks for sharing this so gorgeous card!
Now, this is what I call “thinking outside the box”!! Beautiful colors and makes me want Spring again, now!! Lovely card!!
Leslie, this card is so elegant and beautiful–great job!
What a beauty!! I love these colors!!! Your bg is gorgeous!!! WOW!
The colors of the card make it look so fresh and crisp. Love the card.
What a gorgeous card! I really like this set, but wasn’t sure if I’d get much use out of it. I’m glad to see it used for a non-autumn card!
I just love this card! It is so clean, crisp and fresh looking. Who would think the leaves would look so great in these colors! It is definitely inspirational! Thanks!
Its beautiful and what is really great is that it breaks from the Autumn traditional colors, but still just really grabs you with the beautiful design!
Really, really lovely-like the set and the pretty colors you used. tfs
Brilliant! Deb
Gorgeous card! I wasn’t too sure when I saw that set but your card has sold me! I love the colors you used!
Wow I just found your site.
Your tutorials are amazing.. Sooo easy to understand.
I also love your use of colors.. So fresh.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous…..Did I mention that this was gorgeous?!
Leslie, you did it again! Gosh girlie, do you ever make an ugly card!?!? LOL! I gave you an award and you can read about it on my blog. This is an award with no strings attached — post it if you like - or not! I just wanted you to know I think you’re the bomb!
Very soft and pretty Leslie!! I love this, just gorgeous! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
Such pretty colors and a fabulous design! Love that oval focal image, and those pearls are the perfect finishing touch. What a beautiful showcase for this new Flourishes set. Linda
Wow, this is gorgeous! I love the bright spring colors and those leaves are so beautiful that you can use them year round!
Leslie, what’s so very nice about your cards is the peace I feel when I view them. I can’t wait to see what each day brings!! Thanks so much for your beautiful work! Peggy
Love, love, love this! I can’t wait for my set to get here!
What can I say….WOW! You are so gifted Leslie…what a beautiful image you have posted here
This is so pretty! I don’t know if I ever would have thought to use those stamps beyond fall, the colors you picked are so pretty!!!
(sorta redundant there with the “so pretty”s, sorry!)
Oh this is gorgeous! Love this set, too, and these colors open up whole new possibilities for it. Love how your ribbon is slightly angled and matched with those precious pearls. Love this, Leslie.
Beautiful card, Leslie - Love these soft and pretty colors and your sweet design!!! Great job!!!
