For my card I am using Verve's Great Friend, Bloom & Grow, and Big Wish stamp sets.  I am using the newly released Verve Cut Above Flag die set, Scalloped Trim Trio die, Elegant Leaves, and Joyful Blooms dies.   I am using this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch 179.


I stamped the large flowers cutting out the two larger layers by hand then die cutting the top flower. I inked the outside frame with scarlet jewel ink and stamped the solid image with Memento Pink.  To change up the normal a little bit I thought it would be different to ink the leaves in black for a tab bit more drama.  I added some foam tape to create some depth.  I added some layered designer paper die cuts using the Flag It die set as well as a Scalloped Trim border.  Lots of options with these new dies.  I finished the card with some stitching, and a seam binding bow using Verve's Spring Fling Ribbon Collection.
 
As always thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy the hop!  Next up is the super talented  Jen's Blog.

    So pretty!! Those flowers are my, absolute favorite; they're perfect for everything. Great papers and I really like the sentiment stamped this way (I've never really been crazy about it before--but I really like how you used it.).
