I had so much for with this release.  I have made an easel card with the Rose Frame set illustrated by Melanie.  The base of my card is GKD card stock Wild Lilac.  I stamped the image on GKD layering which card stock and stamped the image with GKD Onyx Back ink and die cut it with the die cuts that you can purchase with this set.  I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Sparkle brush pens.  I used the Fig, Emerald Green, Holly Leaf and Crystal Clear glitter pens.  I then stamped the sentiment from the Fabulous Rose Frame Die Set it with the circle stitched die from the die cuts that you can purchase with the set.  

Here is a closer look.....see all the glitter!

My next card is created using The Wetland 2 stamp set illustrated by Teresa. My card is an A2 card, I masked off the center section of the card and used Distressed Inks Weathered Wood and Peeled Paint. I then stamped the images from The Wetland 2 set with Ranger Archival Ink and colored the wings with the Spectrum Noir Sparkle brush pens. Yes I had so much fun coloring the flowers from the Rose Frame, I couldn't resist. I then stamped the image and cut it out and used foam tape to pop it up.

Closer look at the glitter on the dragonflies.
