Here is the card I made using Wild Flowers by Melanie.  This set beautifully coordinates with her Wild at Heart set (the flowers nestle inside the negative large background set) which is how I decided to showcase the set with this card.  However, the set wonderfully stands on its own as well! 

I stamped Wild at Heart with craft white ink onto kraft pure luxury cardstock and stamped the flowers with memento inks.  Then finished it off with the sentiment in black, layered onto black onyx and placed some brads in the corners. 

Here is another card I made using Wild Flowers for one of the Anniversary Challenges we will have all week to celebrate the 3-yr anniversary of StampTV!  All the details for the challenge can be found here.  I hope you will play along for your chance to win a grab bag of stamps from Gina K.  I used the new paper pack Parisian Garden on my card, isn’t it just gorgeous!  I had a lot of fun making this card because I love to quilt (with fabric AND paper-ha) I just punched squares from the paper 1 1/4” and cut those down 1/2” and arranged them on my work surface in a pleasing manner and then glued them (center only so I didn’t gum up my needle) and then zig-zag stitched with white thread.  Then I added a simple greeting a beautiful butterfly from the set. 

Next up is my card made with Masculine Tags by Tami Mayberry.  I love it when we add masculine sets to our stamping arsenal, don't you?  This set coordinates with Spellbinders Labels 22 dies.  I don't have those, but it was real easy to cut it out with scissors. I used Cantaloupe and Potter's Clay memento ink (rock 'n roll technique) for the focal image, some new paper in the Sundance paper pack a row of self adhesive nail heads for embellishments.  I used Sweet Corn, Ivory and Pumpkin Spice pure luxury card stock.
