Stamping Inkspirations - April 2021 Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I am taking part in a blog hop with some fellow enthusiasts who love sharing theircreative talents using their Stampin' Up!® products. This month the Stamping Inkspirations blog hop is all about birthdays and celebrations.

Sending out happy post is such a joy. Making and sending birthday cards is always a pleasure - especially when it has been impossible to meet up in person and share the celebrations of a special day.

The In Bloom bundle is fabulous, but it is the Pierced Blooms dies that have really caught my attention! I love all the stitched details! 

I took a pile of card offcuts and cut a heap of flowers and leaves. I ended up with quite a few and a dilemma...should I group them by colour or style? Today I have used predominately pastel colours, including two of the retiring InColors Seaside Spray and Rococo Rose. There is also some Soft Sea Foam, So Saffron and Basic Black for the centres. Pastel colours and Spring go hand in hand, don't they?

The Soft Sea Foam card base is covered with a matching layer that has been embossed with the Brick& Mortar folder. The flowers are displayed on a Basic White panel (embossed with the Tasteful Textile folder). This panel and the Happy Birthday sentiment are outlined with black to make them pop - the black layer is only marginally bigger, but it makes such a difference.

I'm not sure if the flowers are botanically accurate, although the So Saffron ones remind me of English Primroses, but they are pretty. Fingers crossed that these flowers bring a smile to the birthday recipient!

I hope that you are inspired by my card today and that you will continue along the hop to see what the others have created too - Susan is next. Enjoy the projects. We would love to hear from you and so if you have been inspired, please leave a comment.
