Spring Botanicals - Thinking of You

Another COLD and snowy day here on the East Coast. 

So, THINKING SPRING!!!

Here is my second card for my January Class. This is a NEW stamp set from the FSJ, Bloom This Way Spring Mini. 
The stamp set is called Spring Botanicals. It's one of the trending new design of stamps for the No Line look. 
All products are from Fun Stampers Journey.

I stamped the two flowers in Summer Days Fusing ink and colored in the light portion with the yellow from the Party Pop PanPastels. 

The other flower was stamped with Sweet Berry Fusion Ink.  No need to color this one since it will be layered. 

I used the masking technique when stamping the flowers and then masked all the flowers to stamp the foliage.

I stamped the pink flower two more times on scrap paper. The light portion was colored in with the light pink from the Confectionary Days Panpastels. and then cut out. 
The smaller one, I just cut out the smaller part of the flower. I sponged the edges with Sweet Berry ink and them layered with thin foam tape. 

The "Thinking of You is from the Embroidered Greetings Stamp Set.
