Hello there my crafty friends!! Welcome back for day two of this months Papertrey Ink countdown and more projects using my newest set, Flower Fusion #3. I have to say that I love this little $5 monthly flower series so much more than I thought I would. I was so excited when creating it and so SUPER excited when it was accepted for the 2011-2012 Papertrey line up. And now I can't stop using them! :)
**Flower Fusion #3, will be available starting April 15th on the Papertrey Ink website.**
For today I have yet another set of bright and cheery cards for you. One of the things I love about this series is the mixing and matching possibilities! With all the sentiments, flowers and leave/stem images in each set you have endless stamping options! So worth the $5, don't ya think?! :)
So for today's color combo I chose....Orange Zest, Summer Sunrise and Hibiscus Burst. Can you tell I'm dying for summer to get here?! LOL! I used the flower dies from Flower Fusion #1, #2 and #3 for these cards along with 2008 & 2009 Bitty Dots patterned paper.
I used the leave/stem image from Flower Fusion #3 and stamped it 3 times on each piece of white cardstock in True Black ink. I wanted the stems to be at different levels so I placed a scrap piece of paper along the bottom and stamped my stems where I wanted them.
'Have a wonderful day!' is from Flower Fusion #1.
'You made my day!' is from Flower Fusion #3.
'Thanks for making me smile!' is from Flower Fusion #3.
That's a wrap for day two! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit....so appreciated!! :) Again, there is still a ton to see on the other ladies blogs....
I hope to see you all tomorrow! Have a wonderful day!

I like the use of black and white leaves with the bright colors, nice look!

Looks like another fun set to play with! I think two or three of these sets with a few stamping supplies would make a great gift for someone just starting out with stamping...or even add to a stampers collection. Thanks so much for giving us options and not always having to purchase the larger more expensive sets.
Your cards are just so cheery and bright, love em.

I just love your work and this Fusion series is tops. I always enjoy when you make card sets and I must admit I CASE them sometimes for gift giving of my own. Today's cards are gorgeous. I got all the sets so far but have not been able to get the dies so hopefully I will do that soon. Thanks so much for all your hard work.

Beautiful cards and fantastic colours!
What makes me want your fantastic stamp sets even more (if that is possible) is your icredible talent that inspires me every time you post. I hope you see imitation as the most sincere form of flattery because I feel the need to recreate what you create every time. Thank you, thank you for doing this series and doing it so well.

I love the surprise of the black leaves and stem. It is unexpected and makes the other colors pop. You always have the best ideas.
