One of my favorite stamps included in this sell is "Find Yourself". Below are two cards I created with this stamp set. You can recreate this card using the instructions below. 

• I began by finding a piece of pattern paper I wanted to use. This help me determine my color scheme. In this case I used Scrappy Boy - A 70's Family paper pack. 
• I stamped the Find Yourself stamp 3 different times. 1. The full image on white card stock. 2. The top portion of the stamp on a smaller piece of white card stock with the focus being the 3 flowers. 3. The bottom portion of the image capturing the words "Find yourself and be that" on black card stock using Versamark.  I heat embossed with white embossing powder. 
• Using the first full image I stamped, I masked the image using the piece of paper that comes on the back of the stamp. 
• I used the Corners Stencil and Candied Apple Distress Oxide to make a background. Upon peeling back the stencil I went over the background using the ink I had left on the blending brush removing the stark white lines. 
• I then cut the card stock using The Stamp Market, Postage Stamp die. 
• I last minute decided to add some black splatters using a black shimmer pen. 
• I adhered the layers as you see in the picture. 
• I colored the face of the image and flowers using Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers. 
• I fussy cut the flowers and adhered them to the image using 3-D foam tape. I used a white gel pen adding accents on the flower and across the eye lid. 
• I cut out 3 strips of the sentiment I had previously heat embossed and adhered it to the same spot on the image. 
• To finish off the card I added a few clear dot gems. You can't see them well in the picture nor the sparkle on the flowers however it is so pretty! 

The below card was very similar with a few differences. I will point out the differences below:

• I used scalloped edge dies.
• I colored the hair. 
• No, fussy cutting flowers. I colored in the flowers and added a sequin in the center. 
• I cut out the entire stamped image and popped it up on the black card stock with 3-D foam tape.
• Added gold thread to embellish behind the top of the image. 
• Finished up this card with a few splatters using white paint. 

I really like how I used the same stamp resulting in two different looks.
