    Wow Carol two beautiful cards. How much stamping did you do on that first one. I have all those flowers and love what you have done. How much masking and fussy cutting. Worth it of course cause its perfect.

    Gorgeous cards! I love both of those pretty backgrounds, and the 'love' word die! The Summer Flower Pops Background looks fabulous as is, and would also be so fun to color!

    I keep coming back to look at your marbled heart - it's so gorgeous! I never would have thought to use the red and black with that stamp - but now I can't stop thinking of similar combinations - green/black - for St. Patrick's day to start!
