I got overly excited about all the new goodies so I made 3 cards.  This first one is my favorite.  These gorgeous flowers and that sentiment are all from one new set called Many Thanks.



I stamped the flowers and leaves in a random pattern and then put the front card panel into my Misti.  I stamped the sentiment in black and then stamped it 2 more times just so I could get a solid image.  I popped that front panel up on a card base with foam tape to finish if off.



My favorite thing to do on a card is score lines.  If you look back, you can see I do this quite often.  Such an easy way to add a little detail to a white card base.



I stamped the sun in yellow and then sponged on a darker yellowish orange on the sun beams to give it a little scratchy texturey look.  Is texturey a word?  :)  Then I popped the middle of the sun up after stamping the sentiment.  I added in 2 thin strips of black card stock along the bottom of the card for some contrast.



The last card showcases the new Roller Coaster die....



I use my Tim Holtz Blending Tool to sponge on a couple layers of color.  The bottom color is Abandoned Coral and the top color is Spiced Marmalade.  (All products are linked below).  I used some Elmers spray adhesive and coated the back of the roller coaster and then attached it to the colored panel.  I used the new Grunge Alphabet to stamp "hello" along the rail in black ink.  I popped the panel up on foam tape and attached it to the card base.



I hope you have enjoyed my cards today and am so glad you stopped in!  Don't forget to leave a comment on each stop on the hop for multiple chances to win.  Your next stop is my sweet friend, Yoosun Hur's blog!  Have a great day!
