Pastel Encouragement Cards

Hello and welcome!
 I have 2 cards I made with the "Hug & Smiles" stamp set from Joy Clair Stamps.

Here's my first card:

My first card below was made by stamping the big floral cluster in the top right and bottom left corners of a 4.25" X 5.5" panel.  Next I colored them with pastel Zig watercolor markers.

I stamped the sentiment then cut it with a large rectangl die.  I adhered it to the card base with foam tape then added black Nuvo drops to the dots in the stamp and the small flower centers.

Lastly, I added some silver sparkle Nuvo drops randomly on the card front.

Here's a closer look:

Here's my 2nd card:

For this card I put the 3 smaller stamps from the set on a acrylic block and then stamped the in vertical rows on a 4.25" X 5.5" panel, then lightly colored them with pastel Zigs just like my first card.  Next, I stamped 4 of the smaller sentiments in between the images.  I cut it just like the first card but used a dotted rectangle die this time and matted it on some silver sparkle card stock.  I added this to the card base with foam tape and then added silver paint pen dots in 3's around the card front.

Here's a closer look:

And the best picture of all, after it was received:
