I started by creating with the lovely Morning Flowers layering stamp set. I then went through my collection of prints and chose one from the Verdant Walk paper pack. The yellows are always a beautiful combination after a long winter. I used Snap Dragon, Buttercream, Warm Sunshine, Firefly, Grass Field, Shadow Creek, Mocha and Espresso mini inks to create the color combo. Using the sentiment hugs and the halftone Circle dies I laid out the flowers in corner display.

For the second card using the Morning Flowers layering stamp set I used the same color scheme as before and added my print behind on the inside of the card. I did the same with the sentiment only using a larger circle from the die set. As a last touch I added the Antique gold sequins.

For the Classic Greenhouse Die set, I used the Watercolor Brush Markers Spring Garden set to color on Altenew's water color paper pad. For the sentiment I used one form Castle Garden stamp set inked in Obsidian Black.

Castle Garden stamp set I started with a piece of Altenew Watercolor paper and colored my blooms with various colors: Just Green, Green Onyx, Volcano Lake, Warm Sunshine, Purple Wine, Autumn Blaze and Bamboo. I did the splatters method where you ink up your block with a color, add water and then splatter ink from the block to your paper. Then I added a bit of color in areas that didn't get any. To finish up this design, I added Enamel Dots and a sentiment from the set.

This time I used the Castle Garden stamp set in a very clean design. Circle Quilt Cover die in white cardstock for the background. I used my alcohol makers Mediterranean Terrace and Cosmic Garden sets to color the image. I used the Instant Dimension Foam Tape for a lift of the layers. Along with a simple sentiment from the stamp set.

For my last design, I used Castle Garden once again, however this time I did it in black and white with a touch of color. With another pattern paper under it, the Summer Garden paper pad was perfect to show how beautiful the stamp is by itself. I did a touch of color in the centers of the blooms with Seashore Crips Oval Ink . I added a sentiment for the set in Obsidian Black.
