For my first card, I used Butterfly Flourish clear stamp set. Oh, how I love this set with it's gorgeous butterflies.
My second (pocket) card is using an image and greetings from Thoughtful Rhubarb clear stamp set. I also used the brand new Star Die Set to make the border.
(Other supplies/tools: Swiss Dots embossing folder-Cuttlebug, Labels 18 die-Spellbinders, Pearls, Buttons, Baker's Twine, Sewing Machine-Janome, Library Clip)
I actually used 2 sketches to make my pocket card. One was yesterday's sketch from SplitCoast Stampers (SC#370) and for the pocket insert, I used the sketch from Paper Players challenge #80. How is that for challenges? The colors are from ColourQ #122 (Black, Kraft, Pink and Red-except I had to use Pink Pirouette instead of Regal Rose).
Now take a look at what the the other Design Divas came up with using the fabulous new stamp sets and dies from the February Release:
Don't forget, the entire February release is available in the store right now; you can order the stamps individually or at a discounted bundle price! Head over to get yours today!
Thanks for visiting! Monika
