Up first is my card for the B&W+1 challenge, FLLCFEB12, to use black and white with a pop of just one color. Here's my take:
I used two Flourishes stamps sets to create this card: Medallion Motif and Feminine Charm. I'm also playing along with Skipping Stones Sketch Challenge #114.
Next I'm sharing my entry for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge #155, which is to use bird images/elements for your creation. I don't have any Flourishes bird stamps, so I made my own bird for this card:
I used two Flourishes stamp sets for this card: Damask Background and Strawberries. I'm also entering this in the Love is in the Air Challenge at Simon Says Stamp, in the Anything Goes Challenge at the Ribbon Carousel Challenge, and the "La-La-Luv You" challenge at the Kraft Journal.
This week's first noon-time challenge, FEB12PIN, was to be inspired by this lovely photo:
And here is my clean and simple interpretation:
Believe it or not, I used three Flourishes sets to make this relatively simple card: Country Charm Labels, Country Charm Borders, and Life Lines.
Finally, here's my creation for the second noon-time challenge of the week, Framed (FLLCFEBRW2). This challenge was to use a frame of some sort on your creation. I made mine from washi tape printed with a fancy gold picture frame pattern!
I used two Flourishes sets: A Year in Flowers 2 and Tag Lines. I heat embossed the roses image on watercolor paper and painted it with dye inks. This card will go to one of my aunts in a few weeks. Her favorite flowers are yellow roses!!
Thanks for taking a look at my Flourishes creations!

Emily these are all wonderful! I adore the way you framed your tag and dramatic with the black panel. Wonderful cards all around. Thanks for playing in Flourishes Challenge.
I love all of them, Emily! The bird is simply genius (love that pearly stick pin and all the lace!) and the black & white card....love the pops of red on the dress form, and the embossed sentiment, and the CAS pink & black? Holy smokes, did you knock them all out of the park :)
AAh! That pink and black is breathtaking! I love your flourished bird too. Did you freehand that? And I love black and white with a pop of red. Especially for Valentines. You have been busy Emily!
Emily! Gorgeous cards! I love the pop of red on the dress form, and how you've used the medallion....and the classy-ness of the last card for the inspiration is stunning! Love how the Country Charm borders look around the black ribbon!
Sorry if you get this twice, my last comment didn't seem to save!
Your cards are all lovely, but especially your first one, it's beautiful! So... did you pop by the PDCC blog to see the latest colours? What d'ya think?!! Lovely aren't they!
Holy cats, you've got great cards in this little post! Each is so very pretty! Love the designs.
Emily, you are on a roll! All three cards look gorgeous. Love the bold colors and beautiful image on the first card, your soft colors and bird on the second and the elegance and big bold strip of the third.
Hugs and smiles
These are so beautiful! Love the elegant dress form with those bold red flowers! Your pinter-inspiration is just gorgeous-love the black banner you used on it! Thanks for playing with Flourishes!
Aww, all the three cards are so beautiful. For the 1st card, I personally Love the color combo, black-white-red composition are simply great. For the 2nd one, love your 'bird' creation, it just brilliant, love the layout!! And for the last one, love the simplicity, sweet and lovely detail..
Super cards, Emily. I thought the first was my favorite until I saw the pink and black...love it. They're all super!! Of course you've made a very pretty bird, too. Way to be crafty.
Awesome collection of cards! I love the B&W, but the last one calls to me also! Great job on making the bird! ;o)
Here are three really great cards!! WOW you've done an excellent job on them all :)

OMG, you and I were TOTALLY thinking the same with the dressform card!! Wait'll you see next week's PDCC card. TOO funny! Anyway, it is truly lovely, and those roses on the bodice are so pretty!
On the bird card, I think you are pretty clever for making your own bird, and I do love that damask very much!
The pink and black card is, like, a dead-on take on that challenge! You knocked my socks off with that one. :)
These are all so pretty Emily, but the last one is my fave. I just love pink, black & white together and your card is gorgeous.
Girl, you are on a roll! One gorgeous creation after another. My fave is the black and white! Love the pop of red.
Emzi, every one of these is awesome! I love them all and can't even pick a fav. I think the bird and lace one would probably win if I had to pick one. Obviously, you were very inspired this week! Hugz, I miss ya!!!!
Wowzers! Gorgeous cards Emily! You've been busy! Amazing work!
Thank you very much for joining us this week at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog!

Wow, look at all these stunning cards, I think my favorite is the last one.
These are all positively stunning cards. It made me think of the jewelry I bought this week for $11 and have been having fun with. I need to take a picture of it for my blog. The pretty framed roses are awesome too. Beautifully done!
Stunners! I really love the cas one. But I'm a cas kind of girl.
