My first card features the whimsical floral design from the Dream Big stamp set. I love this large image as it can be used in so many ways...the whole image, just a portion, monotone with one of the great sentiments, included in the set, stamped over the image. I love possibilities!! The flowers are colored with Copics and after attaching a second butterfly (for some dimension don't ya know) I added a few rhinestone flower centers for a little bling. The DP is from My Minds Eye.
My second card features this serene bridge and water scene, from the Bridge of Hope set...isn't it beautiful and so perfect for sympathy or I'm thinking of you cards? It communicates a calmness and peace. I kept this card fairly simple, stamping the bridge in a pale blue, which coordinates with my Kraft core and Authentique paper. Then I simply added one of the sentiments and four large brads.

Love your Dream Big design Kim, great colors and shading on the colors. Your Bridge of Hope design is so soothing...lovely design and perfect for those occasions when you want to share a bit of encouragement for those going through a difficult time.
Both cards are beautiful, Kim! The flowering vine on the Dream Big card is fun and wonderfully colored...love the bling in the middle of each bloom! Love the sentiment stamped over the softly stamped bridge on the second card! Have a wonderful day!
