I have to say I absolutely LOVE today's featured set and had so much fun making samples for you. 

 

First up is a card I made using the cute little frog image with the rain clouds paired with some SEI Black Orchid designer paper from my stash.  After stamping the main image in memento tuxedo black onto MFP white card stock and coloring with prismacolor markers, I then layered the image onto some teal and turquoise card stocks before adding some faux brads then adding to my card.  Then I stamped some additional frog and cloud images onto white scrap paper, colored and cut out to pop up later using dimensionals.  Before adding my embellishments, I lightly stippled Tim Holtz stormy sky and forest moss distress inks as a last minute thought.  Once the stippling was finished, I added my popped up images, ice stickles, primas, metal rain stickers, and some polka dotted ribbon from my stash.  The final touch was a pair of googlie eyes onto the frog for a bit of whimsy and then my saying stamped in the lower right hand corner.

 

My second card uses the umbrella image stamped onto MFP white card stock and colored with prismacolor markers before layering onto Stampin Up! scraps before adhering at an angle to a card with Die Cuts With A View Pocket Full Of Posies designer paper.  Before adding my faux brads, I lightly stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass around the edges before stamping my saying.  The only embellishments I added were some punched butterflies and flowers with bling centers.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.
