When I got this stamp set back in January along with my new Idea Books, this was the first stamp I wanted to play with!  I've got three cards to share with you today.  One of these cards I made way back in January.  

This card is a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card.  The base of the card is our Kraft cardstock.  I stamped the flowers with Cocoa Ink. To color my sunflowers, I used the waterbrush and ink from the pad. I squeezed the pad together while it was closed to get ink onto the inside top cover. Then I used the waterbrush to pick up the ink and painted it onto my flowers. I LOVE this Cocoa Striped Ribbon with these cards.  Notice my delicate Bitty Pearls at the bottom next to the sentiment? 

Here is another 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card.   For this card, instead of using the waterbrush and ink, I colored the flower with watercolors pencils.  Then I blended the colors together with the Blending pen.  I used the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to cut my scallop ovals for the sentiment.   I added Mocha Bitty Pearls and again used the striped Cocoa ribbon.  

My last card was actually the very first card I made back in January.

This is a 6x6 Kraft Die Cut Card (Z1474).  I used the watercolor pencil/blending pen technique for these flowers.  Here, I added the large Opaque Adhesive Pearls.  

I hope you enjoyed my cards!  Don't you just love this stamp?  Remember, you can only get it during the month of May!  With a $50 purchase you can get this set for just $5.
