Isn’t this a wonderful set? I love the clover and little bees and the quotes are beautiful! For my card, I stamped and water colored two of the clover images and used the fabulous matching die to cut them out. I love fussy cutting, but give me a die like this, and I’ll hang up my scissors in a heart beat! I also die cut piece of card board to attach under one of the clovers for a little lift. After stamping the quote on some gold parchment c/s, I attached a black frame with a Spellbinders label 17 cut out of the middle.
The beautiful honeycomb background image was stamped on top of a subtle dp pattern. the black/cream dot pattern is another dp pattern. I didn’t have the right size brads in black, so I used a black Permapaque marker to color some white brads and heat set to dry them. The finished ivory card is 5.5 x 4.25.
Your next stop in this hop will be to Sabrina’s beautiful blog!

Very pretting coloring on the clovers. Very nice.
I love how you added these layers with such magnificient results; and the 3D effect of the clover, divienly well done. thanks for the inspiration
Love the colors you used. Great sentiment also!
OH WOW~!!!! Such a great card!
This sentiment is one of my favorites and it even says that on FB on my profile….Now I like it even better….that black and white in the background and your flowers, colored magnificently and cut out to frame the side of the card – well, just pick my jaw up from the floor as I stare and drool – TFS.
So much to admire on this card but I guess the dimensionl aspect impresses me the most….or is it the colors….or is the sentiment…or is it…………………..
Just beautiful. Really like these.
Love the clustering.
