Hey There! Here is a Springtime card I made using the NEW Sending Sunshine clear stamp set in combination with the previously released  Beaucoup Bouquet clear stamp set and Quick Strip die set. I think these are a perfect match! The images were stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturn ink onto Bristol smooth cardstock. I colored using  Chromaflow pencils from Derwent.
