Good
morning! With the last little burst of
winter last week spring definitely charged in with a fury this week, and I love
it! With the arrival of March it’s also
the last month of Sale-a-bration, our best and biggest sale of the year so time
is running out to take advantage. In
honor of Sale-a-bration for this months Stylin’

doesn't work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup
below.
I decided to showcase the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper as my Sale-a-bration item and used this weeks Creativate Team challenge as the layout inspiration. I started with Lost Lagoon cardstock for the base (can’t believe this color is retiring in a few months, boo!) and then added a piece of the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper as a nice background and then used another pattern for the inset piece. For the greeting I used the Greatest Greetings stamp set and was stamped on Hello Honey cardstock using Blackberry Bliss ink and then added a little piece of Watermelon Wonder 1” Dotted Lace Trim along the bottom (note, Watermelon Wonder is not one of the colors in the DSP but it’s close enough and coordinates well. I also added one of the 2015-2017 In Color Blossom Embellishments on the greeting piece for fun.

I
needed to add something to help dress this up so I decided in honor of spring
to add some fun butterflies. I cut 2
using the Elegant Butterfly Punch and
then embossed them with the Big Shot and
Elegant Dots Embossing Folder and
then added rhinestones in the center
for the body. I wanted a smaller
butterfly so I stamped one using Old Olive ink on Whisper White cardstock using
the Kinda Eclectic stamp set (since
I don’t have the coordinating punch I cut this little guy out with Paper Snips) and also added rhinestones
for its body. By carefully folding the
butterflies and then using Tombow glue just down the center of the butterfly
you can fold the wings up so there’s more movement on the card.
This card definitely screams spring and I’m sad I haven’t
used this paper much so far during SAB, but I definitely have a supply to use
on future projects (perhaps lots of birthday cards for #imbringingbirthdaysback).
