I created two cards for today's challenge using the NEW Outlines stacking Wavy Posy Flowers. The stamps have really open flower petals making them ideal for paper piecing. The flowers also have an extra "edge" in the image you can see it on the blue flowers. I cut the edge off the yellow flowers, giving them a different look. Also they created a set of six different sentiment centers you can pop in the middle of the flowers. A smart way to create a fun floral card for any occasion, and I like when I can use something in more than one way! I popped the sentiment circle up on a button for the first card. All of the DP on both cards is from the October Afternoon's Fly a Kite Collection.... I'm just loving it and it might not leave my desk until I have used it up!
The second card I made uses the same style stamps. I stamped and cut out two flowers from the checked paper and then colored that extra edge with a Copic, helping to give the impression of more layers than there really is. I tucked some punched leaves under the blossom as well. To create the striped Cuttlebug background - I glued my yellow strip to the aqua paper, cut it to size, then ran both thru the CB folder. A few extra layers and DONE.

Wow, Jenny, these are great. That is a very cool and handy stamp and I love your choice of papers on both cards. Very clever to color the edge on the second card to give the illusion of more layers.
These are really great!Love them.
Well, Jenny, one of your other "friends" did not send you the Sunshine Award, so I guess QueenMarcy has to do it???!!!! You can see it linked on my blog. The award is for "spreading sunshine".............oops, wait, I just realized WHY the other "friend" may not have sent it to you??? *hehehehehe*

Hi Jenny
Love the second card. I like how you did the 3 panels in the background and paper pieced the petals and the sentiment in the middle of the flower, very pretty card.
