My first card features Melanie's new set, Fabulous Rose Frame:

I stamped the largest image onto white cardstock and coloured it with copics. I then trimmed it out with the matching die. I went round the outside of the image with a black copic marker so that when I mounted it on a black card base, the flowers and leaves would look like they were floating in the black. I like this look it reminds me of toleware.

The stamp has space in the centre for a sentiment and for my second card I thought I'd colour in the centre space black as well and then use the small oval die from the matching die set. I sliced around the 4 central leaves and popped them open a little so I could slide in the oval, which I gently curved. I like how this looks also.

My second set of cards features Theresa's new set The Wetlands 2:

I stamped the simple tree shapes in versamark and clear embossed them on white card and then I got out the sponges and went crazy sponging with Gina K Inks, Passionate Pink, Wild Dandelion, Jellybean Green and Sweet Mango, I love these shades together. I wanted a nice cheery card to reinforce the feel better soon sentiment, also from the set. I sponged the card base to match and popped the image up on white and pink mats.

I couldn't resist gold embossing the dragon fly image several times on a white card front, I thin gold embossing looks fab coloured with shades of teal and green, which I used here on the dragon flies. I love this sentiment, also from Theresa's set!

Hope these tickle a little, I can't wait to get around all the other DT posts!! Don't forget to comment on all the DT posts to be in with a chance of winning a $50 Gina K Designs gift certificate!
