Welcome to the newest stamp release for Artistic Outpost . Today I will be sharing a card from each of these new sets.
The first card was made using the Springtime stamp set.
I used pattern paper in my background and several die cuts. One of my favorite dies was used to make the leaves. I stamped the children in the center of the flower petal and finished off by layering everything.
From the Wander and Dream set I used the Western girl as my focal point. I used a die to cut the card base and dyed it using Distress Inks. I layered a few pieces of lace for my background and mounted the stamped image to a die cut popped up on pop dots.

Love your cards! Great use of color and textures in both. You sure made that gal in the second card look good with all the layers, colors and lace.

Never would have thought to use a Doiley, but it works sooooooooo well. The Netting on the Wander & Dream card, gives me the thought of the Saloon Ladies of the Old West. Partnered with the strip of Lace, it is PERFECT !!!!

Both cards are lovely, Kate! The kids on the flower petal with all layers and Western Woman layered up with lace are great touches! Two beauties!
