Here is my card using some of the new designs

I started with a 6x6 lavender paper for the base.  I die cut the FRM132 French Lattice Small from Cheery Lynn Designs from white card stock and used All Purpose Spray Adhesive to attach it to the green card stock.  I stamped the 5000 Baroque Border and 3 of the butterflies from the S600 Fanciful Butterfly set all from SweetStamps.com on watercolor paper using Nightfall Shades Dye ink.  Then I colored the images using a paint brush and Shades Dye ink colors Dandelion, Tank, Forget Me Not and Fuchsia Fizz (I like the cases on these inks because you can swish the lid to get ink on the inside of the cover and pick it up with a wet paint brush for water coloring).

I hand cut the butterflies and painted them with Fairy Dust Creative Inspirations paint to add some sparkle, and used a foam dot to attach them to the lattice.  I also painted the border on the Baroque Border.
The white self adhesive string of pearls along the border of the lattice are from Kaiser Craft.
