I've got three cards for you today one with Jars of Flowers Bundle, one
with Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle and then one mixing the Bundles together.

My first card uses the Flowers for Every Season DSP on Basic Black Cardstock for a bright and gorgeous layer. How gorgeous is the Basic Black with the Bumblebee? They are so fabulous together! To give the DSP some more texture I embossed it first with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. Embossing the DSP adds another layer without really adding another layer. It turns the DSP into something extra.

I made a Basic Black frame by cutting a rectangle with my Paper trimmer and then using the trimmer again to carefully cut out the inside. I die cut some of the sunflowers and placed them under the frame to overlay on the DSP. Finish the card off with some Vellum, some of the sunflowers from the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set, some Linen Thread and some Bumblebee In Color Ribbon.

My next card again starts with the Basic Black and then another pattern of the Flowers for Every Season DSP. I felt the DSP was too busy with the coloured stamped image so I added a piece of Vellum over the DSP to soften the look. This tones down the print, but still lets some of the colour of the DSP to show through.

I stamped the jar and flowers on to so Shimmery White Cardstock and then watercoloured the image using Magenta Madness, Bumblebee, Misty Moonlight, Just Jade and Pool Party. Finish the card off with some Linen Thread, an Embossed Sentiment , Magenta Madness In Color Ribbon and some Magenta Madness Enamel Dots.

The last card uses another of the pattern from the DSP again embossed with the Subtle 3D embossing folder. This card I've created a 'border' using one of the stamps from the Jar of Flowers Stamp Set. This was done by using the Masking Technique. I stamped the first image on the cardstock and then stamped the image again on a Post it Note, fussy cut the Post It Note and then overlaid it over the first stamped image on the cardstock. While the Post It Note over the first stamped image, you stamp the next image to make it look like they are overlapping with out the image lines covering themselves. This 'masking' makes the image look like its one not serveral images repeately stamped over each other. How fun does the 'border' look?

I've watercoloured the stamped images using Misty Moonlight, Just Jade, Bumblebee and Cinnamon Cider. Over the images I've splattered some Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder and then finished the card off with Line Thread, Misty Moonlight In Color Ribbon, Misty Moonlight Enamel Dots. All these elements together make for a gorgeous creation.

I do hope that I've given you some inspiration with the Flowers for Every Season Suite. I know that when you start creating with it you will love it just as much as I do. It's just stunning!
