My first card features the sweet Center Cut Flowers. This is a large cling stamp with a square border of flowers and this smaller circular bunch inside it, which is removable and can be stamped separately. When I first looked at this stamp, my mind went immediately to an old-fashioned tussy-mussy, a little handheld bouquet of violets encircled in a doily.
supplies: white, periwinkle, and black card stock, Bristol paper, Simon's Center Cut Flowers and Hope dies, Spectrum Aqua markers and water, Tim Holtz Doily embossing folder, purple adhesive genstones
Since we've been having an extended winter, my "hope" is that spring arrives soon!

My next card uses the Stitching Butterflies dies.
supplies: white, black, and pink cardstock, dps from MFT Plaid Patterns Merry & Bright and Lawn Fawn Watercolor Wishes pads, Simon's Stitching Butterflies dies, Stitched Rectangle dies, and sentiment from Beautiful Day, adhesive strips
I carried the stitching theme throughout the card by using the Stitched Rectangles.
And finally, I received a new stencil, called New Beginnings.

Your cards are all fantastic! The first one has the perfect colors and the doily embellishment to pair with the sentiment....beautiful. I love the framing on the second card with the butterflies in the corners, it has a simplicity about it that allows for the bold colors and patterned paper to not get hidden. The third card has that soft, spring look to go perfectly with the sentiment. I love that you kept it flat with no dimension...a new beginning kind of feel.
Great cards and sentiments. Love the new release too. Thanks for sharing.
