Here is my first card again:
I love this new set called To My Friend!  I knew I had to make a watercolor background for this set the minute I saw it!  I spattered masking fluid down first, used three shades of watercolors and then used a heat tool to dry it. I wiped off the masking fluid and then cut out the panel with a Pierced Rectangle.  This panel is layered onto a Circle Scalloped Rectangle and popped up with foam tape onto the base card.  I added a pretty seam binding bow to complete this card.
Here is my second card:

Be still my heart!  
I love this new Fancy Fan Die!  And the Lovely Flower set is so perfect!  
I stamped each image and then cut each one out with the Fancy Fan.  
I colored with copics and also sponged each blade with a blush ink.  I arranged the blades and popped them up onto the base card.  The base card is covered with papers from
 Cozy Quilt Paper Collection and Pastel Paper Pack.  I also added one of the
 Beautiful Borders.  A pretty bow completes the card.

That's it for me!
