This Missing You card was created using Stampin' Up!'s Oh So Eclectic stamp set and coordinating Eclectic Layers Dies.  

I love the geometric die cut included in this die set. The flowers were stamped in Sweet Sugarplum (retiring) & Rich Razzleberry inks, the leaves in Old Olive.  Then those items,  the open style flowers, and the tiny leaf shapes were cut with the die set.  All the pieces were glued to the white mat & the sentiment was stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink. Then the white mat was mounted onto a piece of an ombre style DSP & onto the card base. I love this color combo and card!

This card features Stampin' Up!'s Beautiful You stamp set. 

The dancer in this set is stamped onto watercolor paper and water-colored using Melon Mambo Ink and an Aqua Painter.   The sentiment is from the same stamp set. Wrap some coordinating twine around the white mat - and then the white and black mats are attached to a Melon Mambo mat and then onto an A2 size card base. Lastly I added a few enamel star shapes to the white mat.
