For this technique I used a number of stamp sets all from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  I stamped the Butterfly/Flower circle from the Oriental Joy set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the cover of the album, colored it with Copic markers and added Wink of Stella Brush in clear on the butterfly and flowers.  Thinking of You is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and is from the new Roses set.
 
On the first page I stamped both the miss you from the Great Flowers set and the double Cornflowers from the Cornflowers set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copic markers.  The border was punched with a Martha Stewart Deco Fans punch and adhered to the right edge.
 
The center two pages were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The rose from the Roses set was colored with Copic markers and adhered to a Spellbinders Labels Ten die cut.  The butterfly and the Hello sentiment are from the Butterfly Sayings set and the butterfly border is from the Flower Blocks set.
 
For the last page I used the Let's Hang Out sentiment from the Tree Frogs set. The flowers are punched with a Stampin' Up Pretty Petals punch and enamel dot stickers were placed in the center of each flower.  A small strip of Washi paper was added on the bottom.

I used a number of stamp sets, all from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  I used Please Snow which is a new set and so much fun to play with.  I also used stamps from Lanterns, Marsh Birds, Tree Greetings, Oriental Joy and Branch of Blossoms.  I used a Sizzix Snowflake embossing folder for the front of the card.  Most of the images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink but some were stamped with Memento Danube Blue ink.  The "snow people" were colored with Copic markers.

For my second card I used some designer paper instead of stamping on each of the open areas.  All of the stamps are from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  On the front of the card I used the Gladiolas and the Happy Birthday from the Glad Glads set and they were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The gladiola was colored with Copic markers.  The sentiments came from Great Flowers, Lotus Blossoms, Birds of the Orient, KOI Fish and Branch of Blossoms sets.  The two inside panels were embossed with a Cuttlebug Pretty Posies embossing folder.
