Good morning! Today I'm participating in a Papertrey Ink group post showcasing a couple of fun, new sets. My first card uses the new Latin Motifs stamp set...you'll love this set!
I stamped the background images on white cardstock using Aqua Mist, Hibiscus Burst, Mint Julep, and Summer Sunrise. I then cut them out and adhered them to my card base. I accented portions of this image using my white pen.
At the bottom of my card I added my sentiment and the fun corners....going to be one of my most favorite stamps, I can already tell :).
In the center of my card I stamped my flowers, embossing the 2nd detailed layer with white embossing powder and then accenting with enamel dots. My leaves are stamped in Limeade Ice and Simple Chartreuse.
The Palm Prints stamp set and dies were used on my next card...such a beautiful set! I began by stamping the background of my card using the new Boho Rounds stamp set in Fine Linen and adding in some Mint Julep and Pale Peony.
I then stamped my palm leaves on watercolor cardstock, stamping in Fine Linen, Honey Nut, Pale Peony, Sweet Blush, Autumn Rose, Aqua Mist, and Mint Julep. I then spritzed them with water and let the colors blend until dry.
I went over the images one more time, stamping the veins with watermark ink and then heat embossing in white powder. I love this technique :). I added a few Fancy Flourishes and Rainstones to finish, after adding my sentiment on a die cut Tremendous Tag at the bottom (from the Boho Rounds stamp set).
Lots to love! More to see on the blogs listed for you below.

Bold and beautiful or soft and subtle? Melissa, you can do it all in such a detailed way and definitely your style. Love both cards!
