Here are mine:
Card 1
For my first card I paired Baroque Motifs with Simple Beauty. I first layed out the bottom flourish on my panel, it looked like it was made to hold a pretty floral bloom :). After I stamped and die cut the main flower from the Simple Beauty set I used it to figure out my placement for the smaller flowers; stamped those and filled in parts of the small flowers with my Buttercream Artist Marker. I then added the smaller flourish to the top and finally popped up the largest flower on foam tape. I then added the “MOM” using the Fine Alphabet Dies on glitter cardstocks. As a final touch I added iridescent jewels for the flower centers. Finished card size is 5x7 inches. Inks used: (Summer Afternoon, Pocketful of Sunshine, Lapis Lazuli, Rock Collection)
For this card I again used Simple Beauty stamp/die set along with the Versatile Vases stamp set. To start I stamped and die cut the beautiful layered floral image from Simple Beauty, the layers in this set are very easy to align. I then stamped the vase and added the design using the flourish stamp in the Simple Beauty set, I fussy cut this image out. Once I figured out my placement I added more blooms to the background and left them uncolored. I adhered the vase flat to the card base, while the flower was popped up on foam tape. The sentiment comes from the vases stamp set. As a final touch I added small yellow gems to the flower centers. Finished card size is 5x7 inches. Inks used: Summer Afternoon, Enchanted Garden, Green Fields)
