For RELEASE DAY I am sharing a few more cards that I made using the "Thinking of You" stamp set:

 These cards are very simple and use that wonderful "Thinking of You" sentiment from the new set!
A circle die cut window filled with gingham patterned paper provides the focal point for these cards and for some wood veneer hearts and a twine bow. Simple and sweet!

Next I wanted to make a card using the stamped flowers that come in the "Thinking of You" stamp set.

 I stamped a row of the flowers on some white card stock that I had blended with some "cracked pistaschio" distress ink  (Love this color green! ).  Then I colored them in with some Copic markers in shades of pinks and lavender.  Unfortunately I ended up dropping a marker onto my completed stamped and colored panel so I cut into the panel with a circle die and used that as my focal point.   

To create interest and balance with the flowers I stamped the sentiment repeating down the circle die.  I added a straight line of Copic coloring to divide the flowers and the sentiment and then added three paper twine bows and a gingham banner piece behind the circle die cut to finish the card. Again - fairly simple and sweet.
