You Are My Favorite Blog Hop~Day 1!

I am so thrilled to be a part of today's blog hop, over at the Simon Blog, celebrating Simon Says Stamp's newest release, You Are My Favorite!  With Mother's Day coming up in May, this release has some wonderful Mother's day and "Spring is Here" stamps/dies/embossing folders and accessories, that will make creating for all the upcoming special days, so fun and memorable!!
I have used one of the beautiful new stamp/die sets, and made a couple cards to share with you today!
The Big Botanicals set was the first set I opened when I received the new products from this new release...I just LOVE red tulips and lavender colored hyacinth...these stamps were so pretty, they really spoke to me!!  I stamped, die cut, colored, layered and adhered them to the cards panel.  I chose a mini slimline card for the hyacinth, as it's a bit longer of a flower.  I also chose to simply use the genus name stamps on the panels and forgo a larger specific sentiment, so these cards could be for any time or occasion.  I popped the panels up on each card, and used clear enamel dots for each card.  Here's each card and a close up...
and a close up...

and the hyacinth card...
