Blog Hop April Garden Birthday Party

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is See How My Garden Grows. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

With Spring finally here it is time for the Pals to have a Garden Party.  We are showing what is growing in our stamping creations.  Stampin’ Up! always delivers the most beautiful flower stamps.

A special note about the colors.  I used Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock which I hardly have used. I thought it was time to use some new colors.  I used two colors I rarely use… Lemon Lime Twist and Azure Afternoon.  However, I discovered that I didn’t have the Lemon Lime Twist Blends.  So I substituted Parakeet Party Blends for it.  I think that Blend works perfectly with the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper. There is a touch of Lemon Lolly in the center of the flowers. For the inside of the card, I chose to use one of the Scalloped Contour Dies and cut it out in Basic White. You don’t see it until you open the card.

I didn’t want to crowd the front with a greeting so I left it off . This allows you to make it a birthday, thinking of you, and thank you.
