Hello everyone! I made this card for the Flourishes 100th Timeless Tues. Blog Hop as well as for Flourishes Color of Love Challenge using this week's Midnight Madness Sketch86. 
For the 100th Challenge Blog Hop, we were to use our favorites... whether they be stamps, techniques, materials, whatever... Well... I used one of my favorite Flourishes Stamps sets,
Flourishes Cherry Blossoms . I also used my favorite card style... the Easel card, though I don't make them all the time, I do think they are the neatest style card and pack quite a punch in wow factor! I also used my favorite embellishments which include pearl flourishes, ribbon and lace. For the Flourishes Colors of Love challenge we were to use shades of red, pink and white... oh so pretty and perfect for a valentine!
So I stamped with Memento and colored with Copics # R81, R83, R85, G20, G28. The designer paper is DCWV Sweet 8 x 8 stack. The base is Coredinations and then I matted with SU! Pretty in Pink. The ribbon is also pretty in pink and the pearls are ZVA Creative. I used a JOY heart border die for the bottom of my easel and a Spellbinder's Nested Heart as well as the #1 Labels Six. Everything is sponged with TH Distress Ink in Fired Brick. The lace is from my stash. Have I reminded you lately how much I love using my new Grand Calibur? Cutting and embossing with it is a dream! It is so smooth and quiet, and I no longer need any other cutting machine!

This is such a beautiful card. I do like the look of the easel cards, also. This is so romantic, and full of lovely and wonderful things! I love the cherry blossoms. We always plan a trip to my FIL just when they are blooming in Washington, DC. I love to see the streets lined with the cherry blossoms.
