Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop “Celebrate Spring”
Welcome everyone—it’s that time — the second Tuesday of the month—that means it is time for our Inkin’ Krew monthly blog hop. It is going to be exciting to see what all the other team members have created. I know you are going to see lots of ideas and inspiration for your own creations. Our theme for March is “Celebrate Spring”! Now on to the hop! Enjoy!!
My card is created with the You’re Inspiring Stamp Set. Since our theme is “Celebrate Spring” this stamp set is so appropriate being it has daffodils.
The design comes from Inspire Create Challenge #038 for this week.
The card base is Lemon Lime Twist card stock. Lemon Lime Twist will probably be retired this year so I am trying to use it up before that time. A panel of Bermuda Bay card stock has been embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder and adhered to the card base with Liquid Glue.
The inspirations and design comes from Inspire Create Challenge
Two mats have been cut for the focal panel which is cut from a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP, one is Lemon Lime Twist, the other Basic Black card stock. They are all adhered together using Liquid Glue.
A Whisper White circle is cut using a Layering Circle Die and adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The daffodils are stamped on thick Whisper White card stock and colored using Pineapple Punch Light and Old Olive Light Stampin’ Blends. They are then popped onto the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Three pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls set are scattered over the card front. The greeting is stamped in Bermuda Bay on a scrap of Whisper White and matted with a scrap of Lemon Lime Twist card stock.

I am using the Lasting Lily stamp bundle. This is a Sale-A-Bration item or I should say items because the stamp set is free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration and the Framelits Dies are free with a $100 purchase.
The card base is Tranquil Tide cut 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″. The mat is Cajun Craze cut at 5-1/4″ x 4″ adhered to the base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. All card stock has been embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder. Have I told you before I love this folder, it makes card stock look so much better, not so blah! 
The panel for the plaid is Whisper White and Mint Macaron ink has been used to stamp the Buffalo Checks. It took three stamping to get the color of Mint Macaron wanted. A Cajun Craze Stampin Write Marker was used to make the wide stripe across the checks, then the pen end of a Tranquil Tide Stampin’ Write Marker was use to make the narrow stripe. Embossing the plaid panel makes it look like fabric. This turned out making a nice plaid.
Two circles were cut from Blackberry Bliss and Cajun Craze to frame the Whisper White circle that the Happy Birthday was stamped using Blackberry Bliss ink. Three Faceted Dots in Blackberry Bliss were adhered. The flowers are from the Botanical Blisss stamp set and was stamped in Blackberry Bliss and then Versa Mark and heat embossed using Clear Embossing Powder. They were colored using Blackberry Bliss and Mint Macaron ink and a Blender pen. Twigs cut from Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, Mint Macaron, and Tranquil Tide were adhered using Glue Dots. 
A Linen Thread bow is attached using a Glue Dot also. I call this my Mary Deatherage bow as she is the one who showed me how to make it. After the circles flowers, twigs and bow were attached to the Mint Macaron plaid panel, it was adhered to the Cajun Craze panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
