Hi all and welcome to the very first Flourishes Bring Back Beautiful Challenge! This team was started by Flourishes to truly showcase beauty in card making – whether it just be in a beautifully colored image, a fabulous way to incorporate an embellishment or a new twist on a card layout.
Today kicks off our first challenge with a look at one of the things that can evoke a lot of beauty in card making – COLOR! Here’s your challenge: pick your favorite medium – watercolor, colored pencils, markers, alcohol inks… the sky is the limit! I used Rangers Distress Inks as my coloring medium:
Show off your color and join us! Link up your Bring Back Beautiful Challenge creation here to enter. If you upload to SCS, please use the keyword BBB01. You have until August 31st to enter!
As we unveil our challenge for September, we’ll share our True Beauties – those card makers who wowed us with this challenge! Winners will be featured on the Flourishes Blog and will receive a True Beauty blog button to display proudly on their blog! Also, check out what my amazingly talented fellow team members made for this challenge:

Oh goodness, I always get excited to see a new Yvonne creation...this is just pure prettiness!
I'm not sure where 'bring back' comes into your creations Yvonne as they are always show stoppers. More a case of 'carry on' being beautiful.
