For my pair of cards today, I used some of my favorites from the new release - and I love how they turned out! As I often do, I created two similar cards with slightly different colors and layouts. 

I started off by die cutting two color combos of the new Tattered Daisy die - this bloom is so lovely! I used Spellbinders cardstock, and then used my color combo as the inspiration for the rest of the card! I used the Thank You Text background stamp for the backgrounds - stamping and heat embossing in clear ink. I then softly blended ink over it from the bottom, which created an emboss resist and revealed the text. I know the text is technically a thank you set, but it is subtle enough that I could stretch the versatility to work for these cards! The Banner Greetings sentiments are one of my FAVORITE items from the new release! I love that they come with two banner shapes, coordinating sentiments to fit BOTH of those shapes, then along with a coordinating die, they also have coordinating layering stencils that make them so fun! I colored them in contrasting tones with the background inking to coordinate with the cards. Finally, I used the new Delicate Stitched Borders die to cut a pretty border on a panel to fit along the bottom of the card, and used that to tuck my florals behind. Rounded off one corner of each card, then added a white twine bow, and a few Dazzling Clear gems to finish these off! Here are some more photos of the finished cards:
