If you know me at all, you know I can’t resist floral stamps…lol!! So guess what the first stamp set was that I inked up? Spring Fling Florals, of course!!

I began by stamping the Spring Fling Florals onto white cardstock with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink, then fussy cutting them out. I die-cut the frame from yellow cardstock using two stitched rectangle dies and adhered it to the cardbase. I arranged the flowers in each corner, glued them together and then popped them up with foam adhesive. I die-cut ‘happy’, using the Happy Senti-Mini Die Set, three times from yellow and once from black cardstocks. “Birthday”, from the Happy Senti-Mini set, was stamped with Momento onto a strip of yellow cardstock and adhered with foam tape. Finally, a mix of Grape Juice & Pretty In Pink Confetti Mixes were the perfect match!!

My second card features the cutie-patootie Puddle Jumpers stamp set! How cute is this?

I started this card by stamping the images from Puddle Jumpers onto white cardstock with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink. After coloring them with Copics and adding some details with a white gel pen, I fussy cut them out. A panel of Bristol paper was cut using a stitched rectangle die. I masked off the sky and ink blended Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citrine Distress Oxide Inks with a blending brush for the grass. Then I masked off the grass and blended Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Oxides for the sky. I splattered the panel with water and diluted Perfect Pearls. Once dry, I stamped the frogs directly onto the background to get the puddles and motion lines, then adhered the fussy cut frogs directly on top of them with foam tape. I white heat embossed the sentiments onto black cardstock and cut the top one into a strip, while fussy cutting around the bottom one. The boy in the puddle and sentiments were also adhered with foam tape. I added some Salty Tears Embellishments for more “splashes” and called it done!!
