We hope you enjoy hopping with us today!  If you arrived here from the talented Lori's blog then you are in the right place!  If not, just head back to the ODBD blog to start from the beginning.

I have two cards to share today!  Here is the first one:


And here are the two sets I used on this card:



I stamped the daffodils with Memento ink and colored with copics.  I stamped extra flowers for layering.  I embossed the background with a SU! folder and then popped up the extra daffodils.  I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a Spellbinders Oval and matted with a Spellbinders Floral Ovals.  I added the pearls and the sweet little bow that I made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker!  Lastly, I spritzed it with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist.  

Here is my second card!


And here are the two sets I used to make it:



I started by embossing the designer paper with the SU! folder again and after attaching to the card base I used a corner rounder on just the one corner.  I know I haven't mentioned it in a while but the adhesive I use most is the Scotch ATG Tape Glider.  It is one of the best crafty things I have ever bought!  Anyway, I stamped and colored all the tulips with copics and cut each one out.  It's not too intricate so cutting wasn't too bad.  I also cut the entwined stems to make two separate pieces.  Next I added the lace and the Spellbinders birdcage. I placed each tulip 'inside' the birdcage using a bit of glue on the stems and foam tape on the blooms.  Then I added some Cheery Lynn Designs Flourishes to the mix!  I stamped the word Joy three times and punched with the little SU! tag punch and place here and there.  The little blue rose cameo is from The Girl's Paperie.  I picked up a pack at Archiver's recently. 
Anyway, here is one more look:


Thanks you so much for hopping with us today!!!!  
Hope you are enjoying your stroll through the garden! 

Your next stop is to the amazing Kathy Roney's blog!!!
