Oh so Succulent

I love this card I used Oh so Succulent stamps to create it
first I die cut a circle from the front of the card then I stamped some of the leafy images around it
I then stamped and die cut a number of the flowers
I gave them some shape before adding them to the card some of them were layered up with dimensionals
lastly I added the sentiment which I think would be great for an Engagement or Anniversary or a wedding card

Awesomely Artistic, Work of Art and Jar of Love

I used stamps from three sets of stamps to create this card
I stamped blocks from Work of Art onto watercolor card and then sprayed them with water
I then stamped the dragonflies from Awesomely Artistic allowed them to bleed a little then blotted them with a sheet of scrap paper
I then added the leaves and spots and spritzed them lightly with water
The sentiment I added is from Jar of Love
I think this card gives a lovely soft look

Awesomely Artistic

This card was made using a direct to paper technique
I masked off both left and right hand sides of the card and sponged Bermuda Bay ink from the outside edges towards the centre
leaving the masks in place I stamped the leaves
I removed the masks and stamped the fabulous dragonflies and then I stamped a few spots around the outsides
I then stamped the sentiment and added it onto a strip of smokey slate

Best Birds

I wanted to use Best Birds today for some reason I have not used this stampset much but it makes a pretty card and can be used for any occasion as there are a number of sentiments in these sets
I stamped the hatches first then the birds and then the branches followed by the flowers
I added some stronger colour using ink and a waterbrush to the leaves and then coloured in the birds and flowers using markers

Special Reason

I wanted to see how many different designs I could make using the Special Reason Bundle there are four sentiments so I went for four cards
my absolute favorite is the last one of these four
I stamped several of the flowers and leaves and die cut them out
then I die cut several of the filigree flowers and leaves
some of my flowers have the filigree ones glued over the top of the stamped ones
The purple background in card 3 was made using ink
obviously there are a myriad ways to use this set but in one session I was able to make these four hope you like them

Dragonfly Dreams bundle and Serene Scenery

 I decided to make a couple of cards using the Serene Scenery paper stack and the Dies from Dragonfly Dreams
makes such an easy card when you have the right tools thanks Stampin' Up! for making life easier!
I love crafting but sometimes you just don't have hours to spend on just one card
The sentiments are from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set

Touches of Texture

This card was made using the Touches of Texture stamp set specifically the pretty lace stamp
I stamped the image multiple times each time reducing the amount of stampin on the card
I then added the butterfly from Kinda Eclectic and the sentiment from Awesomely Artistic
The background layer is using up some of the free Dsp from sale a Bration which I had inked in green

Awesomely Artistic

I had seen a pin on Pintrest that I liked with the circles and dragonflies but I thought it looked a little plain so
firstly I used a mask to ink through for the circles then I covered them up and stamped the flowers
I then stamped the dragonflies over the circles alternating the position of them each time
lastly I inked around the edges using a sponge and Bermuda bay ink
the sentiment is from Work of Art
