Debbie Owens cuts an olive green scalloped-edge frame using the Frames Squared die set which provides a nice background to the Floral Fringe stamp.  She colors the flowers in an assortment of spring colors. She then adds one of the darling mice from the Garden Mice stamp set. She adds a vertical stripe of black and white houndtooths washi tape for her final touch.

Diane Morales pulled out her brand new water color pencils and created this amazing sky using the Cloudy Sky stencil.  She then creates some big fluffy white clouds using the Sky Borders die set which she stamps with the sentiment before layering the clouds up.  For her "star" attraction, she has Newton blasting off in his spaceship from the Cosmic Newton stamp and die set.

Sue T. presents this stunning card in these rich, dark hues! She creates her square base using the newly released Frames Squared die set. She then stamps the floral image from Floral Fringe stamp set on black card stock and heat embosses in white. Then she colors the blooms in these beautiful hues using Caran d’Ache pencils. She completes her card by heating embossing the sentiment on black and die cutting.  Magnificent!

Becky Noelle bubbly card is so delightful!  She creates her bubbly background by coloring the dots using the Bokeh stencil set. She uses a little Gamsol to blend out some of the pencil strokes. She then stamps the sentiment from Uplifting Wishes stamp set on vellum and cuts out two tags using the Fancy Edges Tag die set. She stitches them together and adds chunky glitter and sequins to make a festive shaker pocket. Super fun and festive!

Bobbi Lemanski brings us this out-of-this-world card!  On her dark card base, Bobbi uses the Bokeh stencil set to create a galaxy of planets!  She then adds a birthday wish using the Uplifting Wishes stamp set in the center of the card!  She also adds some silver glimmer in her outer space card!
