Hello everyone! It’s time for another Timeless Tuesday challenge, and this week I’m your hostess with an Inspiration Challenge! The beautiful papercrafted topiary in the photo below was created by Julia Sandvoss at The Craft Mom. I just LOVE how pretty and Spring-like it is, and thought it would make for a really fun challenge! You can be inspired by all the flowers, the colors, the shape, the butterflies, the tree… just about anything! Let your creativity loose! (Many, many thanks to Julia for letting us use her beautiful creation for today’s challenge… please be sure to give credit to her in your own blog posts if you choose to also post a photo of the tree!)
For my card, I was inspired by the many beautiful flowers, the colors and the butterflies and used my new Country Charm Labels stamp set! These new stamps are so fabulous because they coordinate perfectly with the new Grommet Tags dies from Spellbinders! My papers are all from the new Basic Grey “Sweet Threads” collection, and I added some bling with a Zva rhinestone flourish.
See what the other Flourishes bloggers have created from this inspiration piece today by visiting their blogs! (Remember, in order to qualify for our weekly prize, you DO need to visit each of their blogs and leave comments! Check out the complete rules below!)

HOW TO PLAY: Everyone can PLAY and anyone can WIN! Each week Flourishes draws one lucky name for a $10 gift code to the Flourishes store! PLEASE TAKE NOTE – PARTICIPATION RULE: Just leave a comment on the blog posts of each of the Timeless Tuesday designers! Then link your card by using the Inlinkz widget below, and leave a comment letting us know that you’ve left your comments and linked your card! One random winner will be picked from all of the comments to win the weekly prize. Of course, if you have Flourishes stamps, by all means, use them. If you don’t, please play anyway! You have until next Monday at 6 PM EST to enter! Please, when you use the Inlinkz widget below, be sure to use the actual link to your Timeless Tuesday post instead of a general blog link – we want to make sure we can find your creations! Also, if you upload to SCS, please use the keyword FTTC118! We hope you make time for play time this week!
We had 137 entries for Betty’s Anything Goes Challenge from last week, and only 27 comments left indicating that participants had left their comments on the design team blogs and linked their entry. Remember, to be eligible to win you must link a creation, leave comments for all the designers, and leave a comment here! Winners are chosen from the comments, not from the entries! This was a new rule instituted several months ago. Many of you are missing out on the chance to win! So our random winner is lucky #18, Julie! Please email Tammy at FlourishesTTC[at]gmail[dot]comfor your prize code! Congratulations, and thanks to everyone who joined in!
Happy stamping!
