April Beautiful World Tour.


Beautiful World Graphic
Hello Everyone! Welcome to the April Beautiful World Tour! Once again, it's time to get those passports ready, grab a cup of coffee and prepare to travel the world!

Did you know that your travel around the Flourishes World gives you the opportunity to WIN a free FLOURISHES STAMP SET?? All we ask is that you leave a comment on each one by April 30th for your chance to win!!

If you've jetted in from Kathy's blog, then you have arrived at the right destination! If you haven't, perhaps you'd like to start your journey back in Florida at the Flourishes blog so you don't miss all the beautiful inspiration along the way!

This month the hostess is me, Anne-Elise and our theme is CHILDHOOD! I was inspired by this beautiful image from the Kids Play stamp set. I remember when I loved blowing dandelion seeds... last summer our kids also loved doing it! I also loved looking at butterflies. I remember that we once found a caterpillar and I had the chance to see the chrysalis transformation into a gorgeous butterfly!




April is also the month when we celebrate our daughter's birthday and so I wanted to make a special card for her. The first layer is made with one of the Spellbinders Marvelous Squares dies. There's also a Sizzix Butterfly and the pink felt parts are made with the Sizzix Frame & Pendants #2 dies. I also added some ribbons and seam binding. A little tag, a heart, a flower and some rhinestones to finish it off! I'm sure that we all have great memories from our childhood... so let's go and see all the other beautiful creations!

I wish you all a great Easter time! In Finland, Easter is a four day weekend! We'll go back to work on Tuesday! Thanks for taking time to visit me, it's time to grab your passport and board the Flourishes Flight BWT, your next destination is:

    I love this stamp, for the same reason you have used it, the happy memories it brings back of blowing the seeds.
    The combination of dies you have used are lovely, and complement each other.
    Thanks, Penny
