Welcome and thank you for joining me in a special Crazy Crafters team blog hop.
We are hopping with a special guest - The inspiring Amy Koenders.
The theme of this blog hop was to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) one of Amy's cards.
Here is the card of Amy's that I chose to CASE:

I only recently purchased the new 2016-2018 In Colour collection, and they are such an awesome collection of colours, I just can't understand why it took me so long. So .... like Amy, I decided to make a set of cards using all of the colours in this collection.
Flirty Flamingo
Sweet Sugarplum
Emerald Envy
Peekaboo Peach
Dapper Denim
To make mine, I cut out 3 different sized rectangles (see below for the sizes**) in each of the new in colours, and stamped one of the small flowers from the Blooms & Wishes sets in a random pattern on the largest pieces in the matching ink colour. The middle sized pieces were run through my big shot with the Petal Burst embossing folder. For the smallest pieces I used the stamp off technique (to get the lighter images) with one of the bud branch images from the Blooms & Wishes stamp set and just stamped the image a number of times in the same area.
My sentiments also come from the Blooms & Wishes stamp set and were stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed using White embossing powder.
I adhered my coloured cardstock pieces on to some Whisper White cardstock and then trimmed them all to have a small white border.
Before assembling my cards using snail, I cut a small DSP strip of each colour from the In Colour Designer Series Paper stack, and used the Triple Banner punch to cut the bottom of each strip.
I am very happy with how these turned out and I hope you like them too :)
(**My cardstock sizes: Large 9.5cm x 13.8cm, Medium 6.5cm x 9.5cm & Small 4.5cm x 7cm)
So..... in addition to only recently getting the new In colour collection, I took advantage of the current 25% off sale to get my hands on the gorgeous Blooms & Wishes stamp set. Check out the sale details below - but you can get this and a number of other stamp sets at 25% off, that co-ordinate with the newly release Stitched Shapes framelits (which I also purchased :) )
