But before I show you the sets...you should have arrived here from my friend Kendra's blog. If you did not, you will definitely want to start hopping HERE!
My first creation features the new Daisy set:
I used the larger bunch of Daises as you can see above and one of five available sentiments.
I stamped my image on watercolor paper, heat embossed and then painted with Distress Inks and Pearlized Water. (a tutorial will come...I promise!)
I then coated only some of the petals with Glossy Accents for added dimension and texture.
I went a bit shabby chic with my scrappy elements of corrugated cardboard coated with ink and heat embossed, ruffled and a bit tattered rolled flowers, monopoly money (hiding under the flowers), some die cut leafy flourishes, lots of stitching and some seam binding.
My second creation simply makes me giggle. The image is entirely too sweet but could go to the land of "snarky-ville" should you choose to head there! (wink!)
Here's the full set called "Get Well Chick".
Here's my creation which I kept very CAS (for me at least! ;)
I inked the image with Momento ink and colored everything with my Copics. I then cut the image out with a tag shaped die, coated it with Versamark Ink, clear embossing powder and heat set the entire thing making it look psuedo-laminated. I LOVE the texture this treatment adds!
I then added some zig zag stitching with red thread and added some black and white gingham ribbon. Very "farmy" I thought. A few resin flowers (if you're a regular here at Paper Canteen you know I have a growing obsession with these!), some more stitching and a fabulous sentiment and I was happy!
I hope you've enjoyed my creations using these fantastic new sets that are available now at the Paper and Such Store along with SO much more! Dies, twine, paper, OH MY! Head on over and shop shop shop!!
Now off you hop to the lovely Stephanie's blog to see what lovely creations she's got in store for you!!
Crafty Hugs!

Meredith your cards are beautiful! Love the colors on your daisy card and the way you used a tag for your chicken card.

Meredith you are so talented. Your cards are wonderful. Love the antique feeling of the Daisy card and the chicken one made me smile (love the shimmer on that one)
Fabulous cards. I like the color combo and the glossy accents on the first and the chicken tag on the second. Great stitching.
Wow, these are great cards, I love them!
Adore both cards, the chick tag turned out awesome, and the flower coloring is so gorgeous, look forward to your tutorial
I really like both of these cards. The blue rolled flowers are awesome on the first card, and I adore the chickens on the second one (I have some chickens and love chicken images). Wonder creations!!!
