I was inspired by the lovely bouquet in the center of the board and the overall colors of green, pink and orange, with a tad of blue in the vase!
Very CAS for me today!

There's a new challenge up at Inkspirational - and the challenge is:
And here is the Triple Floating Diamond Fold Birthday card that I made.
Since I put the die cut mushroom up on foam dots on the middle diamond, I could slip the corner of the outside diamonds behind the mushroom which helps hold it open for display.
Today's the day for the March Card Chain Challenge Reveal - I sent a card to Jo in the United Kingdom and received a card from Gail in British Columbia, Canada.
Here is my card:
Every month there are options for designing your card - you can use all of the options but just have to use one of them.
For my card, I used the color options - black, white and one other color (I used pink), and I used the theme 'on the farm' - using a pig image.
First, I stamped the pig from Piggies Crushed It in the center of a white card panel. I colored the image with pink and black Copics. Then I stenciled around the image with Milky Way Stencil using a blender brush with pink ink. I die cut the Polaroid frame and layered it over the image, popping it up on foam dots.
I stamped the balloon again on a piece of white card, colored it, cut it out and layered it over the stamped balloon and over the frame. I die cut the FRIEND from Fun with Words die set and adhered it to the lower edge of the Polaroid die cut. I colored in the heart on the 'I' of FRIEND with a pink Copic and added 3 black Tuxedo hearts around the card. Instead of adhering the panel to a folded card - I adhered a die cut easel to the back of the panel.
Please join us in this fun monthly challenge where we send and receive a card to places all over the world! You'll find all the details about signing up for April at The Card Chain Challenge Blog. You have until April 6th to sign up!

It's time for the Group of Seven Cardmakers March Technique. This month we are creating using the Cover Die Eclipse Technique.
I recommended this technique to the GO7 after seeing it in a challenge over at Splitcoaststampers a year ago. You will find a link to a video as well as a list of instructions over at the GO7 Blog.
I made 3 samples today.
This first one using the Fresh Floral Background Stamp from The Greetery, Layered Plaid Cover Die A - Altenew.
And then I tried the technique but with no stamping - just using two panels of the same patterned paper - one for the background and one cut with an Arched Deco Plate die. I love how this came out!
Inkspirational Challenge #312 has just gone live over at the blog. It's a Designers Choice! I am the designer this time and my choice is use White on White!
I made this card for a friend to send her son, Andy, for his birthday - my friend has 2 dogs and this sentiment from Woof by Taylored Expressions was perfect!
The dogs are an older Tim Holtz stamp and die set called Dog Talk. I colored the dogs with Copics and added Glossy Accents to the eyes. The dogs are popped up on foam dots inside the Polaroid die cut from Whimsy Stamps. The background paper is paw prints - not sure you can see that as it's rather dark?!
