Good morning! I am so excited to be a stop on the hop celebrating the gorgeous March release from Waffleflower Stamps! Today I’m sharing two cards using products from the release!
I am just head over heels for the gorgeous Bouquet Builder 3 set! The main arrangement is just breathtaking and the extra flowers are perfect for adding to the arrangement! I stamped the bouquet onto white cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder before coloring it with copic markers. I used a variety of pinky-purples and yellows for the flowers and greys for the foliage. I love using neutrals for the “greenery” to allow the flowers to pop! I die-cut the arrangement with the coordinating dies and then added a few accents with a white gel pen.
Next I blended a little black soot and hickory smoke distress oxide ink onto the bottom 2/3rds of a panel of slate grey cardstock. I let it dry and splattered it with white gouache. While the gouache was drying I stamped the sentiment from Bouquet Builder 3 onto white cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder. I trimmed them down to thin labels and adhered them over the bouquet. Finally I adhered the bouquet to the grey panel with foam mounting tape and added a few white enamel dots to finish the card!
I went in a very different direction for my second card using the cute Be Him critters! 😉 I stamped the bunny onto white cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed him with clear embossing powder before coloring him with copic markers. I die-cut him with the coordinating dies and added a few accents with a white gel pen. Then I blended a panel of strathmore bristol cardstock with peacock feathers, mermaid lagoon, and blueprint sketch distress oxide ink. I splattered the panel with water and then added black splatters on a diagonal from the top left to bottom right. I set that aside to dry while I worked on the rest of the card.
Next I stamped the bunny’s glasses with versafine on vellum and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder before die-cutting it with the coordinating die. I also die-cut a frame using the older Stitched Layers die set. Next I stamped the sentiment from the Label Sentiments set onto black cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder before die-cutting them with the coordinating dies. I tucked my bunny into the frame and adhered the frame to my blended panel. I also added a layer of foam mounting tape behind the bunny’s head to pop him up slightly. I adhered the sentiments with foam mounting tape and finished the card with a few black enamel dots.
And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed my cards! 🙂

These are awesome, Jess. I’m going to need to open my wallet…
Absolutely love the floral card! Beautiful! Totally wish I could come up with beatiful creations like this!
Love your cards. But especially the gorgeous florals against the dark grey/black background!
I love how you mix colors and neutrals in both these cards. The blue background on your second card is a great way to offset all the neutrals of the sentiment and the bunny. And those glasses are just adorable. Thanks for sharing with us!
Fantastic cards! I am totally in love with the wildflower bouquet stamp set and you did a beautiful job with it! Also the rabbit with glasses is darling! Thanks for the inspiration!

What a gorgeous and striking floral card! The critter card is adorable and rich with color and detail.

Wow your use of black really makes the beautiful florals and other images are really stand out.
