Quick and easy thank you dahlia card

Hi everyone! I have a quick and easy card to share that I put together by using an image that I already had colored. It's been a few weeks since I've had the mojo to create AND I've been busy planting my garden and redoing our front yard. I needed something quick and easy to break my slump.
This came together rather quickly with a few die cuts, twine bow and some Nuvo drops!
The dahlia image is from the FSJ stamp set called Dahlia Burst. It remains one of my favorite FSJ floral sets. The strip of triangles is from the FSJ Fun Triangles die set. 
The thanks die cut is one of the new die sets I treated to myself with a couple weeks ago. It's from WPlus9 and is in the Welcome dies set. Love the font -this set has 3 words Welcome, Hello and Thanks -very versatile!!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
Other supplies:
Copic markers
Black and White Twine (FSJ)
Nuvo drops in Pink Orchid

Water colored Christmas - turned summer - florals

Hi everyone! I played around with some water coloring and turned this Christmas Floral image into a summer floral bouquet! I'm pretty sure I invented a purple poinsettia type flower, but I don't mind. It's super pretty! LOL!
The image is from WPlus9 and called Christmas Rose Bouquet and since it's only April I'm not quite ready to make Christmas cards. So I colored the poinsettia in purple and made it a summer floral! I even ventured out and used some of my Prismacolor pencils to add slight accents in the leaves and flowers. What?? Who am I?!?

The black strips in the background are actually black cardstock that I trimmed to be the width of the tiny space between the embossed diamond patterns. Here's how I laid them out.
It's kinda hard to see the embossed pattern in these pictures, you can see the details better here.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Ranunculus Thank you card

Hi everyone! I just can't get enough of this amazing image from WPlus9! This time I colored the ranunculus flowers with pale to medium pink copic markers. So so pretty!
The image is part of their Beautiful Boquet line which I love and plan to get some more. They are a smaller stamp set with a flower cluster and sentiment and more affordable as well. I used one of the word dies from Fun Stampers Journey and heat embossed 1/2 the sentiment from the set.
I added some bright blue sequins to pull in the tiny blue colored flowers and added some 1/8" washi tape from my stash.  Mood when done - happy!!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Ranunculus hello edge card

Hi everyone! I have a fun edge card to share today. I had this gorgeous image from WPlus9 colored from the 30 day marker challenge and wanted to play around with the Crafters Companion word edge dies so I put them together and made this. 
These word dies are so fun and different! I cut the word Hello into the white card base and then die cut a second time with a pale lavender cardstock and adhered behind to get the light shadowing. You can see the edge better in this pic.
The gorgeous flower image is called Beautiful Boquet: Ranunculus and I used a faux flower stem that I have in my bathroom as inspiration for my coloring. I thought the image and border pretty much made the card, so I used a few silver pearls and thin strips of cardstock as accents and called it good!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
