Here is one of the cards that I made while playing with my new goodies last night. I think it turned out really nicely. This may be one of the cards that we make at my card making class on July 23rd. We'll see!I "colored" the flower and the leaves by using the paper piecing technique with the new Greenhouse Gala DSP. I saw this idea on Connie Tumm's blog- http://connietumm1.typepad.com/blog/ I thought her idea was just brilliant and had to try it out for myself! For the background piece, I ran a piece of Baja Breeze CS through the Big Shot in my Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. I then inked up my (brand new!) brayer with Early Espresso ink and ran it over the raised sections of the cardstock. I love the effect this gives!
Aside from the cutting out of the flower and leaves, this card is very quick and easy to make. I had a lot of fun working with my new colors and supplies last night! Hope you enjoy this card!

Marla, this is gorgeous! I definitely think you should use it for class! It's got enough technique to keep the tech junkies happy yet its simple and elegant.
I cannot wait for my new order to get here.. Living on the East Coast kills me.. When I was in WA I had it in 2 days.. Great card I need to get this set out and start using it.
I just love this stamp set and I'll be making a card for my Grandma's 93rd birthday tomorrow.
I love the brown on the blue in the embossing folder! Great job!!!
Awesome idea for easy coloring! I'm going to use this for club - many times the ladies get impatient with so much coloring. Thanks!
I love everything about this card, and stamping on the colored DSP is a great idea!
