For my first card above, I used what might be one of my all time favorite images, from the new Beauty Set. The artwork on these Stargazer Lilies is so pretty and they are a ton of fun to color! I stamped mine with Memento Ink and colored with Copics, then fussy cut the image. I used a base of Bazzil and then cut a Neenah Solar White layer with the newly released Leafy Edged Border Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the same set directly on my card base, and layered the white embossed layer so that the sentiment is just peeking out from under the curvy border. (I do know know the name of the embossing folder... it's an older one with no printing on it at all. Sorry!) I then cut a thin paper "ribbon" using another of the dies from the same Leafy Edged Border dies by using the die twice at the desired width. I matted my flowers with an ODBD Custom Doily Dies, and added some flourishes from the Fancy Foliage Die set. A few pearls are all I added for embellishment, as I felt like the card made a pretty nice statement as it was. So it's flat (except for pearls) and very mailable! This is always a good thing!!!
For my second card... I went a little happy coloring up the pretty Columbine images from the new Grateful set. I colored three of the images with Copics, and fussy cut them all. I made a pocket card with the new Leafy Edged Border dies, and some Enchanted Memory Box paper that's been in my stash for a long time now, but I have loved the color combos in this set and thought they went well with my columbine images. I filled my "pocket" with the images, cutting one on a stem to bend downward and frame my sentiment, which is from the same Grateful set. I cut the sentiment with the ODBD Custom Stitched Ovals dies, and matted with the ODBD Custom Ovals dies. The background for the inside of the pocket is embellished with a BoHo Background Die cut from white. My only embellishments on this card again, are pearls from ZVA Creative.

Very nice cards. The Leafy Edged border dies are elegant. The sentiments are classic. The pink lily is exactly as I have seen them. Just beautiful.
Two beautiful creations, Grace! Fabulous coloring and designs!
Beautiful cards. Love your coloring of those pretty flowers.
Coloring is a challenge for me ... I tend to avoid it. I really am impressed how you convey a sense of "light" in your coloring. Wow!
Oh, Grace, both are amazing!!! I love the elegant details and delicious colors of both!! HUGS!!
Grace, you are such an inspiration to me and always have been!! I love your cards! Love the multiple columbine card and the paper and the pearl butterfly...just gorgeous! Also love your gorgeous lilies and the beautfiful border that is shown off so well against the pink!! Beautiful my friend!
These are so pretty and relaxing to look at, Grace! Your highlights on those Columbine are divine!!! Beautiful work, Grace!!!
Truly, your cards are beautiful!
Wow!! These are gorgeous!! Very pretty cards!! I love the different die cuts you've used to give the card more sophisticated look.. Love them both!

Such gorgeous cards, as always! Great job with the coloring.
Two beautiful cards, Grace. I really like the second one with the blue columbines and pearls. I think those border dies are going on my wish list for sure.
Two beautiful designed cards Grace! Love how you spread out the columbines on the second card!
Wowzer, Grace!! I just love both of your creations, but that second is over the top!! I adore your creative design and the stunning coloring of the columbine!! So soft and gorgeous!! The first is colored to perfection!! Love the texture and dimension. You never cease to amaze me!!
hugs,

Beautiful! Love the colors and designs of both cards ♥
Both cards are so beautiful! I have fallen in love with these new sets and the dies! I love the way you used the leafy edged border die on each card. I also love the way you took the character of the flower you were using when designing your cards. Gorgeous!
Amazing coloring Grace! Your first card looks almost real, except I'm not sneezing, I am allergic to stargazer lilies :-( Love how you used the border die on both cards. Can you come to my house and fussy cut for me? Not my strong suit but you did a BEAUTIFUL job, I thought it was a die cut! I am having fun being a guest designer for ODBD!
Gorgeous colors and card designs.
Delightful artwork Grace! Just love the new borders and you showed them in beautiful detail!!
Two more beautiful cards Grace - love the lily one - we call those Asiatic Lilies here :-)
Blessings
Maxine
Both of your cards are absolutely stunning, Grace! LOVE the pinks and green Stargazer Lily card and the fussy cutting on the Columbine card is amazing! Love the pearly butterfly accent as well! Both are so elegant! Both are so elegant! Hugs!
Oh Wow!! The coloring on both your cards are excellent but the embossing, borders, and dies make them especially gorgeous!
