Flora Grande Stamping

Let's just say that my current favorite stamp set is Flora Grande 2 from Heartfelt Creations.  I love most all of their stuff, and I've gotten a LOT of mileage out of my 2 newest purchases (from the Allentown Rubber Stamp Convention earlier this year) --- the..... 1. Flora Grande 2 and 2. Posy Patch Flowers. 
Sharing three cards today that I used the flora grande set on - love the size and shape of this flower.
For card #1 I used these supplies:

• Stamps
• Flora Grande 2 (Heartfelt Creations)
• Martha Stewart leaf stamp
• Punches
• Threading Water Border Punch (Fiskars) 
• Scalloped Daisy Border Punch (Fiskars)
• Small Butterfly Punch
• Cuttlebug Items
• Butterfly Die (Provo Craft)
• Butterfly Embossing Folder (Provo Craft)
• Swirls Embossing Folder (Provo Craft)
• Textile Embossing Folder (Provo Craft)
• Inks
• Versa Mark
• White Embossing Powder
• Pink/Green Chalks
• Pink Glitter
• Pink/White Cardstock

 For this card I stamped my flower image on vellum, colored the back with markers, and cut it out --- lots of dimension to this as the petals curl and twist about. 
For card #2 I used these supplies:

• Stamps
• Flora Grande 2 (Heartfelt Creations)
• Martha Stewart leaf stamp
• Punches
• Small Butterfly punch
• Martha Stewart corner punch: Embroidered

 One last card using that flower stamp set --- a personalized wedding card.
