Here's the Design Team:




Today I have two cards to share with you again.  The first one uses the new Tiger Lily stamp set.  I see so many uses for this set including scrapbooking.  For now, I used the stamps to make a get well card to help replenish my stash.  

The main image stamped in memento black and colored using prismacolor markers before stippling tumbled glass distress ink around the edges. I then stamped two additional flowers onto scrap card stock, colored, and cut out to add later.  Once the main image was layered, I added some black baby brads, the added that to a orange/black card before adding the cut out lilies using glue dots.

My second card uses the new Plywood background along with the new Tree Frogs set.  I stamped the frog in memento ink, colored using prismacolor markers then stippled tumbled glass around the edges, layered and added some brushed brass brads.  For my background, I stamped the Plywood in walnut stain distress ink before stippling brushed corduroy and vintage photo inks over and around the edges, layered then added the brushed brass brads before adding to a green card.  The frog panel was then added at an angel to help add some depth to the entire design.

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 change to win today's featured sets.

Come on back tomorrow for more creativity.
