And, there will not be just ONE winner. We will actually be choosing FOUR Guest Designers for December!!! Hip hip hooray!!!

The Friends of Flourishes and the Senior Design Team will be voting on their TOP THREE favorite projects once all the entries are in on Monday evening. The designers of those top three projects will be offered three of the four guest designer slots. Then, starting Tuesday October 8th, YOU will get a chance to vote for our PEOPLE'S CHOICE award by voting for your favorite creation! Stay tuned because next Tuesday, we'll share all the details of how you can cast your vote to help with our Guest Designer line up for December.

FTTC240 Paper Piecing          

For my card, I used the set Tulips for Friends.  I paper pieced the pitcher and carefully cut around the leaves for a realistic look.  Everything else was colored with copics.  The sketch is from the MFT Blueprints 3.  A button with thread and a trio of brads add the finishing details.
