For my first card today I used:

Buildable Woodgrain

Coming up Daisies Stamps
and Coordinating Die

Rose Champagne Sparkle Couture Mix

This beautiful Buildable Woodgrain background stamp set is such a great concept.  It gives you plenty of room to play with different patterns and different color combinations for the background of your card.  No two cards are alike when you use this set.  I stamped mine using inks from The Ton:  Crystal Pewter, Smoky Quartz and Light Onyx.

Aren't those flowers gorgeous?    I stamped them in Caviar ink and then colored them with Kuretake real brush watercolor markers.  If you look closely, you will see that I die cut this using the Coming Up Daisies coordinating die.  What I like about this die is that it really cuts close to the image.  It also cuts out all the little center pieces so your background can show in between the flowers and stems.

I trimmed my florals off to allow extra room for the sentiment I chose from the Peony Notes B stamps set.  I don't like to waste anything that I took time coloring so I just added the trimmed piece to the inside of the card.    I added a little sparkle to the front of the card with some of the new Rose Champagne Sparkle Mix.

For my second card I used:

Peony Notes A, B & C

Painted Peonies

Mint Sugar Couture Mix

For my second card I wanted to try the whole Peony Notes set together, A, B & C.  I stamped the blue background first using Blue Diamond ink.  Then I stamped the flowers with:  Vanilla Frosted Cupcake, Beach Blondie, Amber Citrine.  The leaves were stamped with:  Bright Fern and Deep Emerald.  All of these sets are made to work wonderfully together.

Not much else was needed on my card because I filled the whole front with beautiful stamped images.  All I had to do was add a sentiment and added a few sequins from the Mint Sugar Couture Mix.
