IBS April Release: Flowers and Frames

Good morning-

Happy Saturday to you all and welcome to Day 1 of Inspired by Stamping, April Release Blog Hop.

For the next 4 days, we will be showcasing 9 brand new stamps sets.

All these stamps will be available on April 10th, but join us for the next 4 days and feast your eyes on these amazing stamps and the creations, created by the team.

For Day One of the release, we are showcasing Spring Blossoms and Single Fancy Frame.

My first card is using Spring Blossoms and since Spring is in the air, I decided to go with a more vibrant spring color combination for my card. 

I did some fussy cutting and some paper piecing for my Happy Spring card.

I can't wait for you to see the entire set, because the flowers and sentiments are just amazing.

I stamped the flowers, colored them with my Copics and cut them out twice.  I added a bit of flock to the middle of the flowers, to give it a bit of texture.

For my second card, I am showing Single Fancy Frame.

I LOVE...LOVE this stamp.  It's really fancy and very sophisticated.

See what I mean!!

And what I love best, is that the Fancy Sentiments stamp set, fits beautifully with this frame.

I stamped the frame and cut it out by hand.  I then used the SVG file and my Cameo to cut out two additional sizes, for PERFECT matting.  I added some dimension to the inside of the frame. 

Used some Scalloped Crochet Lace and two beautiful Rose Buds, to bring my card to completion. 

So before you head on over to visit the rest of my team, let me tell you about the contest we are also having with the blog hop.
