I've made two cards to share using five different stamp sets. All supplies are listed below for your reference and/or shopping pleasure. ;) This first card features the marvelous Tweed Pattern stamped on a kraft base and a large stunning stamp called Tall Flowers which I watercolored using distress markers on Hero Arts watercolor paper. I picked the smallest sentiment from Thanks A Bunch and nestled it in the space above the flowers.

Those of you who know me will smile when you see this next card. If Hero Arts makes a bike stamp, I must have it! This Bike With Basket was way too cute to pass up and what I love most about it is that it's big enough to decorate with flowers, flags, etc. On the bike itself, I used distress markers and a watercolor brush in soft earth tones.

I created a cobblestone path using the solid hexagon from Hexagons. I used the rock 'n' roll technique with Soft Brown and Wet Cement shadow inks. The cobblestone path, bike and flowers are all adhered to the card with foam tape. The sentiment is again from Thanks A Bunch which is my new go-to stamp set for thank you cards. This set provides so many wonderful ways to say thank you in a vast variety of fonts and sizes. It's simply perfect.

Stunning cards Emily. Love how you did the street in the bike card.
Beautiful! I love your first one especially. I wouldn't have thought to use the tweed background when it is only showing up as a border and it looks wonderful.
I love the tall flower stamp!! The card turned out great!

Really beautiful cards
The tall flower card is beautiful. Love your cards.
Love these two cards. I definitely want to get those tall flowers
Love both cards, but I think the bicycle card is my favorite! Thanks for the inspiration!
Such pretty designs Emily
Love the coloring of the first card and the design of the second one ! These new stamps are fabulous !
The coloring you did on those flowers is superb, and the tweed stamp in black on kraft cardstock as background, genius!!!
Love your cards! I especially like how you matted chevrons behind the tall flowers. Great choice!
The bicycle card is very clever. I like how you created the road! And I also loved the accent flowers!

Call me silly, but I wanna see more of that wonderful kraft/black tweed BG. That stamp is fabulous!!!
beautiful coloring and layering. great tall flowers stamp. thanks for sharing.
Nice cards. You did a great job with the bicycle stamp. I find bicycle stamps a little hard to work with so even more impressive to me. The flowers on the watercolor paper look great, I am really liking that stamp.
I love how you have thought outside the square - or in this case, the hexagon with the bike card.
Your cards looks so gentle with soft colours and it really softens my heart too. ;)
And the bicycle especially is really cute
What fun cards.
It's a good life!
Terri E.
