Spring Collection Week 4 Blog Hop!

It's Saturday and time for the last blog hop of the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary.  We've had an exciting four weeks and we are so glad you joined us!  For those of you that haven't, it's not too late to see what all the fuss is about!  You can still subscribe and enjoy all of the tutorials.  Just go to Create with Connie and Mary for all the details.  You should be coming from Melissa's blog, she had the cutest project this week, I just loved it!

My project this week was made with the new Bouquet Bigz L Die so I made a card today with a couple of the die cuts and the matching stamp set Build a Bouquet.

Doesn't this look like spring?  I love So Saffron and Calypso Coral together.   It's a very pretty color combination that looks beautiful against the Crumb Cake Woodgrain background.

For this look, I used the five petal flower and the leaves.  Both of the flowers have been stamped in the center with So Safflower ink using a stamp from Build a Bouquet.  I added in small flowers using the Petite Petals Punch.  I stamped them as well to give extra dimension.  They were also rounded using the Stampin' Pierce mat and a stylus.  This brought the petals up and gave them life.  The yellow flowers were given shape with a bone folder.  I added candy dots and pearls to the centers to complete the look. 

Pear Pizzaz leaves added a nice bit of color and filled out the arrangement.  The sentiment was kept simple and stamped at the top of the card in Early Espresso Ink.  A couple of Crisp Cantaloupe butterflies are a perfect finishing touch.

I hope you've enjoyed today's card!  Now it's time to give Debbie Henderson a visit and check out her wonderful project.

Thanks so much for visiting today and joining us over the last four weeks!  Happy Stamping!
