How gorgeous is this new set? VERY! I was so pleasantly surprised to see these beautiful swirls, flowers, hearts & solid images in this brand new set, Boho Blossoms by My Favorite Things. Such a different style for MFT, don't you think? So elegant -- I love it! You'll be able to purchase it tonight after midnight (when it's officially October 1!) at My Favorite Things and I believe Eclectic Paperie will be carrying it, too.
For my sample, I chose to use the heart (although I cannot wait to use the gorgeous flowers next!):
The base of this 5.25" square card is shimmer Poison Ivory. The black printed paper is Rookery Road from the Laurel collection by Scenic Route. The red print is from Stampin' Up's Cerise double-sided designer paper. I machine zig-zag stitched both papers to the card base.
The boho heart was stamped in Palette Moulin Rouge onto shimmer Poison Ivory and the "love" sentiment (don't you love that font?!!) was stamped in Palette Noir. This piece was matted with black cardstock that was punched with Stampin' Up's Spiral Punch. A red heart eyelet (retired SU) was set in the lower left corner and red swirly May Arts ribbon tied thru it.
Don't forget that Kim will be running that great special tonight after midnight (it will be on the home page HERE) . . . Take 5 for $65. You get all these 5 new release sets that the design team has been previewing for you this week for $65!
Sorry I didn't get a sample of Meet Me At The Cafe posted yesterday . . . hubby decided it was a good weekend to get Fall color planted in our flower beds. So we spent most of yesterday getting those and planting them . . . therefore, I can barely walk today -- ugh! Anywho, I'll have that sample for you sometime next week -- I already know exactly what I want to do! Meanwhile, here's a peek at the full set (click on it for a larger view):
Check back in tomorrow to see a sample of the last of the October 1 releases . . . Think Pink! Any guesses as to what that set is about?
WOW, your card is beautiful, can't wait to see all the new sets.

I've visited your site several times today, just waiting to see what you would do with the Boho Blossom set. (Pathetic, I know.) Absolutely love what you came up with! Your card is so striking. I don't own any MFT sets yet, but will definately be adding this one to my next eP order. As always, it's a pleasure visiting your blog.

Your card is stunning, Sharon! I love the boldness of your color choices. They work so perfectly with this set.
Sorry you didn't get a change to use the cafe set...and I hope your soreness goes away quickly!
