first up, is perhaps my favorite set of the release (but that's so hard to say! lol!! the others are so AWESOME! i'm telling you!!)
i couldn't stop making cards with this set!!
first up, i paper pieced the large flower image in an ombre of pink papers and two different greens for the leaves!

the sentiment was then heat embossed onto a vellum banner that i attached with my sewing machine. a few pearls and a totally b&w graphic background and it's done!

my 2nd card is my favorite!!

first i mixed together distress paint (picked raspberry and squeezed lemonade) and lots of water onto some white cardstock. once all of the colors had mixed and blended and played together a little (ha!), i used stazon ink to stamp the little flower image a bunch all over it.
