Today I've created three cards to share with you. For my first card, I stamped images from the Focus on You Stamp Set and I was inspired by some beautiful vintage botanical illustrations.

I stamped my images in black and used Altenew markers to colour them in (C002, R702, R902, B002, B227, R926 and G715)

For my second card I combined new Dearest Friend Stamp Set with a stamp from the older Watercolor Frames.

thank you


I stamped the frame in Sea Glass ink and added the thank you sentiment and a floral element in black. Again, I used Altenew markers to finish my card off.

thank you


For my last card I stamped beautiful images from the gorgeous Hope Stamp Set. I love those beautiful flower buds, aren’t they cute?!

I may not


I used Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious, Rubelitte and Razzleberry ink to stamp the flower and Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades and Evergreen for the leaves and buds.

I may not 1


The sentiment comes from the Dearest Friend Stamp Set.

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is amazing Lydia Evans and I can't wait to see what she came up with today!

Thanks for stopping by today!
