The final introduction for today is the newest felt color to our fantastic 100% wool felt collection. This month's addition is Spring Moss. Spring Moss holds a special place in my heart because it was one of the first color introductions we made during our first anniversary celebration. I think you'll agree that it is a great addition to the collection!

 Now that all the introductions have been made for today, let's get right to the projects!

 

For my first project today I paired up several of the new additions we are introducing today.

The beautiful background was created with the new Background Basics: Medallions set.  I am just totally smitten with the results you can get with this two-step process.  I stamped the larger circle strips with Simply Chartreuse ink, followed by the smaller circle strips in Ocean Tides.  Doesn't it look just like a beautiful paper you would by at a boutique?

For the flower, I die-cut a few blooms from Ocean Tides cardstock and stamped them with their coordinating images in VersaMark ink.  I finished it off with an Ocean Tides button and twine.

I stamped the "happy birthday" sentiment from Think Big Favorites #13 onto a strip of Ripe Avocado cardstock using Ripe Avocado ink.  I then added a little sentiment from Simply You (more about that later on in the week) underneath in True Black.  The "You" circle was stamped with VersaMark ink onto Ocean Tides cardstock and punched out with a 1/2" circle punch.

All of this was adhered to a Classic Kraft card base.

My next project is bold and bright and sure to bring sunshine to someone's day.  I started with white cardstock die-cut with the Mega Mat Stack 3 die and stamped several different elements from Frilly Flowers to cover it.  I used Berry Sorbet, Orange Zest, Simply Chartreuse & Summer Sunrise.

I stamped the sentiment from Think Big Favorites #13 with Simply Chartreuse ink onto Simply Chartreuse cardstock.  I die-cut two strips of Berry Sorbet cardstock with the small scalloped border die and trimmed them with a kraft knife and ruler.  After adhering everything into place, I pierced holes along the scallops.

I adhered a large button to the center of this Berry Sorbet flower and tied it with a thin strip of Orange Zest cardstock.

All of this was adhered to a Summer Sunrise card base with rounded corners and a bit of Fresh Snow ink swiped around the edges.

This card uses one of the sentiments from Global Greetings: Spanish.  I started with a block of white cardstock and stamped several of the Frilly Flowers along the bottom edge of the block using Raspberry Fizz, Summer Sunrise, Berry Sorbet and Plum Pudding.

The sentiment was added in the upper portion using the birthday greeting from Global Greetings: Spanish using Smokey Shadow ink.  I pierced a line of holes above and below the sentiment.

I tied pieces of embroidery floss around the card, finishing them with knots along the edge of my project.

A Smokey Shadow card base finishes it all off.

This project focuses more on an earth-tone scheme.  I trimmed some Dearest Jane script paper into a block and stamped it with these Frilly Flowers using Canyon Clay ink.  I then added a few other scattered flowers from Beautiful Blooms II with Dark Chocolate ink.  I trimmed around the outside edge with Tea Dye Duo.

The sentiment was stamped on strip of Kraft cardstock with Dark Chocolate ink.  It also was edged with the Tea Dye Duo.

I added small rhinestones to the centers of each flower for more texture and visual interest.  I love how these flowers layered over the script paper!
