Welcome, Spring! + Lil' Inker Designs Gift w/ Purchase!

Hello, friends!   I've had just about enough of the snow and cold here in Central New York, so I broke out some spring stamps & dies from  Lil' Inker Designs - Spring isn't that far away - at least that's what I keep telling myself, lol!!   All of the items I used are linked below.

I started by running the Quilted Stitched Pattern Die through my die cut machine - I just adore that pretty background!   Next I die cut the Easter egg shape from the Dual Stitched Egg set from the center of the panel.   My original intention was to make a shaker card, so I added acetate behind the egg shaped window.....but when I found that beautiful background paper, I couldn't bear to cover any of it up, lol!  

I added the patterned paper to my card base, and adhered the sentiment banner. Next I adhered the die cut panel to the card with foam tape.   I added the Spring sentiment, die cut twice and layered, across the window.   To finish off the card, I die cut several of the butterflies from the Stitched Butterflies die set from vellum.   I added some shading to the back of the butterflies with my Prismacolor pencils, creased them in the middle and added some adhesive.  I love how their wings are lifted from the panel!

I hope you've enjoyed my card today - be sure to check out Lil' Inker Designs  - there is a fabulous promotion going on during the month of February - you will receive the Hello Awesome stamps & Awesome Word Die with any $75 purchase!  How awesome is that? (See what I did there?! Ha!)
