Natural Wonders Collection previews: Chrysanthemum XL



Good day to you! Welcome to a four-day unfurling of our latest visual feast. This group of stamps — and a few coordinating dies — is nothing short of FUN. Some are almost addictive to color and come up with new palette possibilities. Here’s a little more about how the collection was conceived...


Natural Wonders Collection
Every time we wander outside, there’s the opportunity to experience natural beauty. Whether walking in your neighborhood or taking a trip across the country. My newest stamp designs are an exploration and celebration of some of my favorite plants, personally selected with the colorist in mind, and especially perfect for fall. Whether it’s the rosy orange hue on a pumpkin, or the detailed purple venation of ornamental kale, there is so much to delight your pencil, paintbrush, or marker-clad fingers. You’ll see a few familiar images from favorite digis, presented in a great size for stamping with new sentiments.

There are coordinating dies for a few sets, too! 
If you wait until release day, September 15 to order, we’ll have a special discount for you...

---------------------------------------------------

Today is a special introduction to kick things off... I’m going to get right to it, as I think our lil graphic here speaks for itself....



Introducing Chrysanthemum XL

With a swirly, sweeping design, this is the Mum you’ve been waiting for! Chrysanthemum XL is a large-scale flower, nearly 4” across. The petals reach out, almost tickling the air, and I have to tell you, there is no wrong way to orient this flower. It just looks cool no matter how you use it. When paired with the individual leaves, stem, and petal images, you can create your own scene. But the flower works so well on its own, you may not even need the green stuff! 

Our Bloom Brigade designers have created some truly incredible cards showing off this dynamic flower today, be sure to visit everyone’s blogs so you don’t miss a gorgeous moment...



Enjoy the tour of Chrysanthemum XL, my awesome friends. I hope you envision how you would use this set, putting your personal verve into your cards, and sharing the beauty with a lucky recipient! Come back tomorrow for another set that rocks the natural vibe — but with a look that really speaks to the guys in our lives.

xoxoxo,

  37. Always holding my breath when Marcella is sharing her new designs... like Lynne I too have a number of Flourishes stamp sets and fell in love with her beautiful artwork then and have to say Power Poppy stamps are my favourite (I'm staying stamps not digital). Chysies bring back memories of mothers' day when we used to wear a white one to church and there'd be vases full on display. Thanks for being so talented Marcella and sharing your love of nature
