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)
