Adorned Cross

I love this Crosses of Hope set! For this card I stamped the Cross on Shimmery White CS with Espresso classic ink then colored the leaves and flowers with markers, cut it out and then adhered it to an oval cut out using the Big Shot and Ovals die.

Blessings Card

I really like this Crosses of Hope stamp set, I wanted to use Daffodil Delight as the main color but the oval is So Saffron CS so that I could sponge Daffodil ink over the embossed cross and make it really pop.

Nature Rose Print

For this card I used all three new stamp sets from the Occasions Mini Catalog, Nature Walk, Clearly For You and Baby Blossoms. I stamped the roses on some of the nice aged looking Botanical Gazette DS paper with Peach and Old Olive ink then added the eggs and little birds using Espresso ink. The First Edition DS paper was stamped using Olive Olive and Regal Rose markers. I added the Lace Trim and Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding along with Crumb Cake Seam Binding ruffle. The greeting was punched out using the Jewelry Tag punch and added a Photo Corner punched out from the First Adition DS Paper to the left corner. The Vintage Flower was glued to the middle of a small Pear Seam Binding ruffle!
