Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers.  How has your week started off?  Spring officially starts tomorrow, now we just need the temperatures to go with it.

For today’s card I used the Stampin’ Up All That You Are Stamp Set.  This is another beautiful set that is great for coloring with your favorite coloring instrument. I decided to use a few of the soon to retire colors for my card.   Here’s my card.

My design was inspired by Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge #200.  Be sure to stop by and play along with their challenge.  Here is their sketch.

I started with a Powder Pink card front and ran it through my Big Shot using the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I adhered the card front to a Sahara Sand card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper I stamped the floral image from the All That You Are stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored the leaves of the image in using my Daffodil Delight, Mossy Meadow and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I colored the flowers in using my Aqua Painter, filled with alcohol, and my Berry Burst, Fresh Fig and Powder Pink Inks.  I adhered the artwork to a Fresh Fig mat using Snail.  I added some Rose Metallic Thread to the back of the matted artwork then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the ‘God Is Love’ sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Hold On To Hope Stamp Set in Fresh Fig Ink on a scrap piece of Powder Pink cardstock and cut it out using my Big Shot and the Cross Of Hope Framelits Dies.  I adhered the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot.  I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the floral image from the All That You Are stamp set in Powder Pink Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock.  I stamped the ‘Easter Blessings’ sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set in Fresh Fig Ink on top of the floral image.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Fresh Fig mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the floral image from the All That You Are stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Stampin’ Write Markers.  I adhered a piece of the Floral Romance Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you like my card and will give it a try.  If you really like any of the soon to retire 2017-2019 In-Colors, now is the time to get them.  Get them before the hit the retired list and sell out.  Happy Stamping!!
