We have a little secret here at Flourishes and we can’t wait to share and celebrate! Tomorrow is our fearless leader, Jan Marie Caruso’s birthday! Let’s all sing! Ok, maybe not. But, we can light the candles… literally… on a brand new set drawn by the talented Becky Fleck!
Introducing…..
Let them Eat Cake!
Becky did have a few words to share about the inspiration behind this beautiful set!
Much to my mother’s chagrin, I am a tomboy through and through. I think the last time I wore pink was my wedding and it was with a great deal of protest. Naturally, anything girly or frou-frou just doesn’t resonate with me. When Flourishes asked me to create this particular stamp set, I had just seen the Marie Antoinette movie with Kirsten Dunst (and now you’re probably wondering WHY I watched that movie, but that’s an entire novella all unto its own). Suffice it to say I was feeling a bit “inspired” after seeing the story about the life of this ill-fated queen. Her battle cry, “Let them eat cake!” motivated these designs and I hope you enjoy stamping with them as I much as I did creating them. Now if I could only talk Flourishes into some sort of camo stamp set …
Hhhmmm. Camo? Not sure about that one Becky! 
Being the good sport she is, Becky even made a card for Jan to send along cyber well wishes for a great year! Isn’t it darling?
If you’d like a peek at this set in the store — it’s there for the taking! Just click HERE to see.
Get ready! Tomorrow, it’s the Senior Design Team’s turn to wish Jan a fun-filled birthday! We plan to hop along with fun and games that even YOU can participate in! So, hop on back and see what we have in store for Jan!
What an adorable set and Becky’s card is equally as cute!
What a gorgeous set! I can’t wait to get a better look at it! You did a great job!
I love everything about this stamp set. So girly!! Great job!
Hi Becky!
For a person who isn’t into frilly things…you have created the most frilly stamp set to date. This particular set is simply deilicious, and fun to look at…I can’t wait to see how great it is for stamping!
Thanks so much!
