MY CARDS:
I have a few cards to share with you today, using some of the awesome products in this fun release! Up first is a very simple slimline design, created with the Artsy Florals stamp set. I colored the flowers with Copic markers and the pretty sentiment is included in the set.
For my next card, I used the Stems and Leaves stencil to create a soft background. The butterfly die cut is from an earlier release and I used another one of the sentiments from the Artsy florals set, this time gold embossed.
This next card was so fun to make! Once in awhile I like to use nontraditional colors for a Christmas card. I used some masking to create the pastel stripes. Once I white embossed each of the sentiments, I used a gray Copic marker to add a shadow to each one. I also used some of the new Pawsitively Dazzling Gems in opal. They're so pretty!
