The images from Altenew Wildflower Doodles were stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne & I splattered with Gansai Tambi Yellow Gold watercolor which has a gorgeous shimmer in person. 
I removed the tape, stamped the sentiment from Altenew Painted Greetings & added a black mat. 
The Stamp Market constantly inspires me & recently This Card caught my eye. To make my version, I die cut a small heart in the center of a larger one using an AJVD die set gifted to me by my friend, Rosemary. 
Next is my entry for the PTI challenge to make a love birds card. Rosemary's white die cut bird is beautiful, but I decided my PTI Feathered Friends 8 needed more definition. Brushing on Distress Ink pumice stone gave me the look I wanted. 
Into the Blooms II foliage & flower were also brushed with Distress Inks. For the background, I scored a kraft panel & inked it with 2 different brown pads. Love the font of the sentiment from PTI Framed in Florals which was stamped in Versafine Clair Acorn. To make this a winter card, I added snow by splattering white gouache.
After coloring with a rainbow of Copics, I covered them in Stickles. Oh what beautiful sparkle in person! 
Love Taylored Expressions Swiss Hearts embossing folder & the PTI sentiment from Prominent Petals. The light gray mat & sentiment strip are SSS Fog cardstock. Now I'm using the little hearts from the centers to make another card.
