I used both of the sets we are featuring today, Garden Silhouettes and Timeless Textures on the first card. More details on that one below.
For my second card, I stamped images from Timeless Textures on my white card base, using Memento Rose Bud and Grape Jelly inks. The dragonflies and sentiment are from my new set, Follow Your Dreams.
On this card, I used the iris from Garden Silhouettes and stamped it with Versa Mark ink. Then I heat embossed the image with clear embossing powder. After embossing, I sponged Memento Grape Jelly ink. The sentiment is also from Garden Silhouettes.

For the background in my first card, I cut an oval using Spellbinders Oval Nestablities, then sponged Memento Cantaloupe ink while it was still in the die.
I inked up the silhouette image using Memento Markers. I used Cantaloupe for the petals and added a touch of Tangelo to the edges of each petal. I inked up the stem with Memento New Sprout and Bamboo Leaves. For the center of the flower I used Memento Potter's Clay.
I added a drop shadow using C3 and C1.
I used Timeless Textures to stamp on the larger panel, with Memento Cantaloupe and Bamboo Leaves inks. then I layered with Pure Luxury Sweet Corn and used a Fresh Asparagus card base.

So I really, really need to go play now. I have got to master this CAS style. These are so simple, but so beautiful.
I could study your techniques for hours - wait - I already have! It is incredible how you can take a plain stamp and make it looked embossed, layered, or part of a whole landscape picture- and you share everything you do, each step of the way - if you had a penny for each Thank you you would still be a millionaire!
Very pretty cards Theresa! :)
Loved your Birthday Wishes with the oval and the colored flower. Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow! Love each and every one of these, Theresa! Your emboss resist is stunning.

Oh how I love the simplicity of this one! Thanks for the tutorial on this too. I will use it - as soon as my stamps arrive in the mail!
Beautiful creations! TFS!
Your work is always so awesome - I wish I had a fraction of your creativity. The drop shadow on the first card is so pretty, I thought the flower was cut out until I read the description. The other two cards are just gorgeous - love what you did with the textures on the second one and the sponging on the last one. Perfection!
Beautiful cards.
I keep trying to learn how to sponge even 1/3 as well as you do. I'd be happy with that! But I just don't seem to be able to master the technique. I'm going to keep practicing though!
Lovely, Lovely, Lovely. Your use of Timeless Textures is super. You make Garden Silhouettes stamps turn a card into a stunning creation.
These are beautiful, thanks for the how to!!
WoW I loved your cards. They are so soft and beautiful I bet in person they look even better if that is even possible. You are very talented thanks for the tips.
I love the elegant simplicity of your cards. Thanks for a great tutorial.
Loved your cards. |Beautiful texture and colors. Loved the grape jelly texture stamp. Gotta get this set.
Very nice! Fantastic color choice and just plain pretty!

Beautiful cards. The "Follow Your Dreams" is fantastic.

Both cards are beautiful in their own way.....I can't pick one over the other for a favorite!
All of your cards are beautiful Theresa! For some reason, the dragonfly card really sticks out for me! I love the colors on that one! :)
Very nice!! More ideas to try. Thanks.

Lovely cards. Thanks for the detailed instructions.
Wow, I love these stamp sets, and more, what you have done with them!
Your colouring is so perfect. I love your work!
Love, love, love your cards! I would never had thought to sponge while still in the nestie...and the colors you used to brighten each petal is gorgeous. Dragonfly card is fun (love the purple!!) and the sympathy card is simple, elegant and just perfect for the occasion. Thanks for adding the tutorial. Those textured stamps are something else.

I am just learning to use copics. I really thought that you had somehow used some stenciling paste on your flower until you told me how you colored it and gave it a shadow...very dimensional! Do you have any tutorials? I am new to your site and will definitely be back. Happy Easter!
Gorgeous card Theresa! I have fallen in love with the new Timeless Textures stamps!
