Monica made a vivid floral card with the Simon Says Stamp Stencil Peony Bouquet along with the sentiment from Altenew Beautiful Day Clear Stamp Set. She made the watercolor effect blending the Distress Ink pads and refreshing the colors on the paper with a wet brush. As a last touch she added some details with Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils and added a few Moonshine Sequins for sparkle.

Andrea made a notebook using Waffle Flower’s A7 Disc Bound Dies and added some floral accents using Tim Holtz’s Bouquet Findings. She also added some stamping with Tim Holtz’s Mini Glitch stamp set and threw in some dots with Altenew’s Many Dots washi tape.

Anna-Karin tucked dimensional flowers into an envelope on this card. The flowers were die cut with Simon Says Stamp Morning Blossom and the envelope with the Gift Card Pocket Envelope. The beautiful embossing folder used for the background is Simon Says Stamp Spun Glass.

Barbara this week dedicated her project to the spring that will arrive soon. She chose a spring/pastel color palette to create a card using Sizzix’s Alphanumeric Bulletin Thinlits Dies for Tim Holtz along with Ranger Light Gray Distress Holiday Woodgrain Cardstock, Stampers Anonymous’s Floral Outline stamps set for Tim Holtz and colored everything with various Distress Mini Ink Pads.

Cheiron created a card for a friend who loves sunflowers. She used the Tim Holtz Sizzix Blossom Thinlits die along with Distress Inks to create her sunflowers. She added it to a background of Tumbled Glass Distress Spray Stain stamped with the Stampers Anonymous Ledger Script in Hickory Smoke Distress Archival Ink . She finished the card with some detailing using Distress Watercolor Pencils and a sentiment from the Noteworthy Stamp set.

This week, Emma is feeling love in the air and she used the Sizzix Mini Brushstroke Flowers Die by Tim Holtz to add some beautiful blooms to her idea-ology Vignette Box project. She arranged the flowers around a PhotoBooth image, in a Deco Frame Adornment before completing the make with a sentiment, XOXO using the Bulletin Alphanumerics Dies.

Kath created an Art Journal page in her Dylusions Small Creative Journal using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Blossom and Alphanumeric Bulletin Thinlits as the focal points on a Distress Paint background, stencilled and stamped using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Focus and Gradient Dot Layering Stencils and Faded Type stamp set.

Lols  made a card using a new Waffle Flower Cosmos Clear Stamp and Die Combo and she colored the flower with Daniel Smith Watercolor Paints. For the background she stamped some flowers with White Pigment Ink and used White Embossing Powder and heat set before blending Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink over the top. She finished with a Tim Holtz Label Sticker and a strip of My Favorite Things Black and White Plaid Paper.

Macarena made a pair of cactus bloom using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Funky Cactus dies and placing them onto a vellum sheet from Studio Light Write Your Story set with the Tim Holtz Black Distress Woodgrain Cardstock as a background.

Maura created a vintage, distressed style card this week. She used Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Botanic Collage set, Prima Art Ingredients Steampunk Metal Flakes, and Simon Says Stamp Old Letter 1878 background stamp.

Meihsia was inspired to create a watercolored thank you card using Simon Says Cling Stamps DAFFODIL FIELD on the background, and colored it with Prima Marketing WATERCOLOR CONFETTI SET Art Philosophy. The sentiment was die cut using CZ Design Wafer Dies BASIC TRIO.

Zoey used the newly released die from the Everyday Line Blossom and Alphanumeric Bullettin to decorate her tag. She used Distress Spray Stain and Distress Inks to add color
