One Flower, Two Flower, Three Flower, Four . . .

I LOVE this stamp set from Gina K / Hero Arts. I actually ended up making a total of 6 different cards with this set.  And I think I have more ideas in my head. :)

But let me get to these cards.
The two end cards were stamped with versamark on light gray cardstock.  Then colored with color pencils. I used the frame dies to cut the outer rectangle and the inner rectangle.  The rectangle pieces are all "inlaid". 

For the center card, I water colored the flowers.  Then I hand cut them for the sketch from The Fusion Card Challenge.

I wish I could take pictures that justify these cards.  Especially the one on the far right.  My hubby truly supports my hobby and dutifully looks at my cards when I show him. But this time, when I showed it to him, he really ooooed and ahhhhhed, and fully examined them.  

 Here are two more cards, made in a similar way, but with different colors (dark gray and mauve foil cardstocks).
And of course there is this card that I made for a very dear friend in this blog post.
These cards were inspired by the following challenges:
