Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s amazing projects. If you’ve hopped over from Akiko
Sudano’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate Spring”. We can interpret this however we want. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Easter Friends Cling Stamp Set along with the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Flowering Fields DSP to a So Saffron card base. I adhered a smaller panel of the Flowering Fields DSP to a So Saffron mat and adhered it in the center of the card front.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the duck image from the Easter Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the left and right sides of the panel. Along the bottom of the panel, I stamped the grass image from the Easter Friends stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the duck image from the Easter Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips. I adhered the Basic White panel to a So Saffron mat and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the fussy cut duck in the center of the 2 ducks using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of So Saffron cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Friends stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I fussy cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the duck image from the Easter Friends stamp set on the bottom of the panel and colored it using my Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the grass image from the Easter Friends stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a So Saffron mat and then to the So Saffron card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the duck image from the Easter Friends on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I stamped the grass image from the Easter Friends stamp set below the duck image. I adhered a panel of Flowering Fields DSP to the envelope flap.
