The Wild and Wonderful Collection also features two red rubber background stamps- Kaleidoscope and BFF, along with beautiful photopolymer stamps and Dies- Note of ThanksWonderful Wildflowers Stamps and Wonderful Wildflower DiesFocus on the Good Floral Stamps and Focus on the Good Floral Dies and the beautiful Scroll Butterfly Die and In Flight Butterfly Die

I've got a few projects to showcase today for the last day of the blog hop-although all items are now available! 


My first card features the beautiful and all too fun Wonderful Wildflowers Stamps and Wonderful Wildflower DiesI stamped the solid images in the set onto Ultra Smooth White Cardstock, die cut them, and arranged them onto a pale blue cardstock base. I finished with a sentiment strip stamped with Note of Thanks and a few black Nuvo Drops. I used the following ink combinations for my flowers and leaves:
Orange= Tiki Torch, Orange Twist
Yellow= Limoncello, Sauna
Pink= Be Mine, Party Dress


My next card, I feel, is so grand and quite the showstopper when delivered by hand due to the 3-D nature! I started again with the amazing Ultra Smooth White Cardstock as a card base and then also cut a panel. Onto the panel, I inked a soft layer of It's a Girl Ink, and onto top of the panel I stamped the beautiful pattern from Kaleidoscope with Sauna Ink and stamped a sentiment from Note of ThanksFrom this stamped panel, I die cut In Flight Butterfly Die, and then I die cut another butterfly and inked it up with Limoncello.


I then inked some paper with Sauna Ink and die cut the Scroll Butterfly Die These were adhered to the card at the body of the butterfly and the wings lifted for a nice 3D effect.


One last card today for you! I started this one by inking an Ultra Smooth White Cardstock panel with Grape CrushSweet Sixteen and Royal Treatment Ink. Then I watered the BFF Background Stamp with water, and pressed it onto the purple panel. This created a soft pattern onto the panel. I adhered this to a white card base, along with a strip of Limoncello colored paper. I added detail and a sentiment on the card using Note of ThanksFocus on the Good Floral Stamps and Focus on the Good Floral Dies. The background color is Limoncello  and the details stamped in Tiki Torch-what a great, bright and happy combination!
