First up is the new Happy Spring set from the new kit.  For my first card, I used the flowers and layered them and then put those over some hand stitching I did:


I really am loving this paper pack too...with the soft pink and gray...just gorgeous together!  And my next card, I made a little sunny day scene!  Sponged the background with the distress oxide inks (did I mention I love these, lol!)  and then colored everything else with prisma premiere pencils:


 And another sponged background with those inks (sorry!  LOL)  

I used the dies to do a cut out and had it peak through there a little bit with the polka dotted designer paper in the pack in the kit.  Super easy to make and will be easy to mail!  

And last but not least is a card that uses the new incentive:

That big ole flower is so much fun to color.  I used the Kuretake water colors and then colored pencils over that after drying.  I love how the white pencil especially gives that look it does for highlights.  

And also, I'm hosting the challenge this week on StampTV, and this is the card I have for my example:


The name of the challenge is 'What's That You Say?' and for the challenge you are to use a quote, any quote, to inspire your card.  For mine, I used the quote, 'Good things come in small packages'  and made a mini card of the large one I made!  All are welcome to play along!  Here is the link to that challenge too: (you have to be a member of StampTV to post and comment! it's free to join!  Everything is  free! :D)

First up is one I have made that is bright and festive!  


 I used the Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens to watercolor the flowers on this...so fun to color!  And then here is another card that I didnt color the flowers at all, just heat embossing on them!

I first Stamped the image with versamark and then heat embossed it with some black glitter embossing powders...its sooo sparkly IRL!  Close up:

And another with the background created with the new Distress Oxide inks too:


 I colored this one with some white gel pens and Faber Castell Big Brush Pen.  A little tip...if you have the Misti...I stamp my image using that and leave the stamp in place on it, then after finishing coloring, restamp the image so make you ink crisp and clean looking...( cause I color out of the lines so much it covers that up, lol!)  And one more:



 And on this one I used heat embossing in gold glitter and then my Kuretake watercolors on this one.  Like I said, this images are sooo fun to color in sooo many ways!
