Today's featured set is another beautiful, and versatile, floral for your collection, so I have two samples for you.
 
My first sample uses the large gladiola stem, butterfly and saying stamped in memento black onto MFP white card stock and colored with prismacolor markers with Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink stippled around them then layered onto scrap Stampin Up! card stock.  My background is stamped in regal rose ink directly onto the card itself using the same large gladiola stem.  The only embellishments added are some moss brads I've had in my stash for years and diamond ice stickles to keep the card clean and simple.
 
For my second card, I wanted to continue using as much of the scrap card stock on my stamp desk as possible, so I continued with a similar color combination.  After stamping the bold block image in memento black and coloring with prismacolor markers, I layered the image onto more scrap card stock before adding some Making Memories white baby brads.  The background of the card is again stamped using the large gladiola stem stamped directly onto the card, however this time in blushing bride ink, then with the sentiment over stamped directly onto the background before adding a small ribbon knot and ice stickles.
 
Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs for a chance to win today's featured set.

    Awesome cards. I love the brightness and wonderful coloring on the first one. The second is my fav, I love how you stamped it in black and filed it in with the color.

    I like how you took your glad onto the card bases of both of your cards. . . and the way you layered the focal image on the second. Great job, Bonnie.

    Your first card is just stunning! Beautiful shade of rose/salmon! And the blue butterfly with the blue framing is gorgeous! The black background of your second card really pops the images! And I love the multicolored layers that you used in the back!
