I am hopping today with two cards using the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps April Stamp set of The Month: Butterfly Background. I also used Sentimental Wordfetti, Made New, Made New Dies, Bookmarks & More Dies, and Faith Phrases. (Made New is also available in a Bundle.)

I cut 4 squares of colorful cardstock for the background of my first card. 2 corners on each were rounded after stamping them “tone on tone” with the same colors of ink. Each square is 1 15/16″ and the card base is 4 1/4″.

For the background of my second card, I used small ink cubes to ink up a section at a time, cleaning the stamp between each color. The MISTI is great for this technique. The green layer on the left was scored diagonally on the Scor-Pal.

Have a great day and thanks for hopping!
