My first card features the Daisies and Butterfly stamp. I just love how the Whole set of stamps have a framed image with part of the scene outside of the frame. I colored the Whole scene, then cut the front of the card apart and attached again using acetate on the back. I stamped the butterfly again and attached with mounting tape to raise, then added some gems to finish the card.

My second card shows off the gorgus Water Lilies and Dragonflies stamp, and the Beautiful Days sentiment which I just love. You could use this sentiment for a Wedding card, a graduation card or any card for a special person. I stamped the Water Lilies and Dragonflies on aqua colored velum and cut out with a fancy Nesties circle diecut. I colored from behind and stamped, cut out, colored and attached an extra dragonfly and some  gems.

So have you guessed What my secret letter is? It is W, of course.

I am entering these cards in the Add a Sentiment challenge at Love to Create and the Anything Goes challenge at Tammy's Scrappin' Corner.

    Your cards are beautiful. I love the raised butterfly on the first and the waterlilies stamped on the vellum is such a clever idea. It looks so watery. Great ideas! Thanks for sharing! :)

    Beautiful cards, Karen. I especially love the way you stamped the dragon flies on the vellum. When I first looked at it, I thought, WOW, she cut that out!!! What a stunning card it makes. The pearl flourish added to the butterfly, along with the split scene creates a stunning card.
