I found out that the New Love & Thanks stamp set from the Amuse Studio March 2015 Collection works lovely with the Mini Blooms stamp set.  They are a perfect combination for creating a beautiful floral look!  In my card, I did a bit of masking to get the desired look.

Mini Blooms all around....

The Amuse Studio Consultant Challenge for February is Shine Bright!  As Creative Consultants we were asked to add some radiance to our projects this month.  I decided to add Shine to my card by very simply adding three Twinkle stickers to the centers of a few of the flowers that I stamped.

In this card I used my Quickie glue pen & added Diamond Glitter to the center of the Marigold colored flowers to add a little Sparkle!  The sentiment is from the stamp set First In My Book.  I also punched a hole & added Onyx Organdy Ribbon to the Card Catalogue Stitched Tag.

I was on a roll when I was using the Mini Blooms stamp set so I figured while I had out inks and paper I would just make a variety of cards.
