I stamped my images with black and used the coordinating The Peony & Lilac Swag Simple Coloring Stencil Set (4 in 1) to add colour to it. I used here pink shades from Rose Petal Fresh Dye Ink Set, purple colours from Enchanted Garden Fresh Dye Ink Set and greens from Jade Dreams Fresh Dye Ink Set

My next step was to die cut it with The Peony & Lilac Swag Die Set. To finish my card off, I added some green ink splatters and a sentiment.

For today’s blog hop I created two simple cards using the newly released products. For the first card I used Blossoming Apple Complete Bundle. I started by using the letterpress plate with hot foil technique and combined it with new Hot Foil Roll - Ivory Black (Mirror).

Next I used the coordinating stencil set to add colour to the blossoming apple branch & charming apple blossom flowers. I used pink shades from Blushberry Bliss Fresh Dye Ink Set, green shades from Jade Dreams Fresh Dye Ink Set and Peachy Glow from Sun-Kissed Delights Fresh Dye Ink Set.

I die cut it with Blossoming Apple Die and combined with Dotted Scales Debossing Cover Die. My last step was to add the sentiments from the set.

For my second I used Build-A-Garden: Branching Roses Set. I used black ink and stamped the large rose arrangement twice to create a beautiful background.

To finish it off I simply added a sentiment from the set.
