Good Sunday morning! I did it again! I opened my brand new order from Ellen’s and realized I accidentally ordered two of the new Poppystamps Bailiwick Background. I’m sure Ellen would let me return it but I think it is lots more fun to share blog candy with you. Leave me a comment on my yesterday's post by Thursday, Jan 16 at 5:00 pm to qualify for a random drawing. Good luck!
My project today is made using the Bailiwick Background paired with the Elizabeth Craft Designs Bunch of Flowers 1 and Curvy Leaves along with Memory Box Butterfly Delights and Flower Mound.
One of my favorite color combinations to use for spring projects is Spring Moss by Papertrey and Almost Amethyst by Stampin’ Up! But with that said for some reason it is a hard color combination for me to photograph. I’m sure it is the fault of the user 
and not the camera or colors themselves.
I cut the background, attached tiny strips of mounting tape around the border and tiny pieces on several of the leaf flourishes and attached it to the card base. I wanted the background to be popped up to add dimension and interest.
I cut the leaves and flowers, formed with my stylus and molding pad and assembled using glossy accents. I attached the flower to the center of the card and attached several leaf sections around to create a natural arrangement. I cut the flower mound, formed with my tiny tipped stylus and molding pad and attached all around the leaves and flourishes to add another element of color. I added a few butterflies to bring another element of spring to the project.
I finished by attaching tiny white pearls to the center of the flower and to the butterflies. I love the soft colors and spring feel of this card. Too bad the photos don’t do it justice.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.

This is just breathtaking! Your attention to details is amazing. Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful talent.
WOW, I would never give this card away if mine turned out like yours! Elegant, beautiful, gorgeous, simply magnificent! This is a must have background!
This is beautiful, Kittie! It’s not you…purple is difficult to photograph but your pics are great!
Wow you have some patience – another pretty card
Wow, this card is a stunner! I love the new die and it is always amazing what you do with them! My already large wish list is getting bigger by the day with all the lovely new dies being released! This one is now at the top of my list.
Thought I signed up yesterday but don’t see it here so will try again. You’re card is beautiful as always. I don’t have that die and would love to own it. Thanks for the chance to get it. Edna Burgess
Thank you for sharing this beautiful card with the Bailiwick background die, now I know I need the die and I would actually use it. It makes such a difference to see products actually used in projects to see the possibilities. The center flower is beautiful. Butterfly delights I have and it is one of my top favourites dies. I have looked on the Memory Box site for flower mound, I can’t find it, I think they have discontinued it. Being in Canada it will be difficult for me to get it, unless I can find something similar. Thank you for sharing this beautiful, inspiring card.

Fantastic card and background die! I’m definitely adding it to my wishlist after seeing your beautiful card.
I love the colors on the bell flowers from yesterday and I use that embossing folder often. I especially love it for letter press. I would be thrilled to win the die.
WOW!!! You never cease to amaze me and inspire me!!! I bow at your feet and hope that some day I will be as good as you!!
Good afternoon, Kittie. This background die makes you think of a wonderful garden with a trellis of beautiful flowers. That is what I thought of with your creations. Just gorgeous, and an inspiring garden trellis…..very useful….thanks for sharing your garden.
This is truly gorgeous and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you might pick my comment from yesterday’s blog! Thank you for your generousity.
So beautiful! Almost Amethyst is one of my all-time favorite SU colors. I’m now getting used to Wisteria Wonder…
You always do such inspiring work. I check the blog each day to see your new creations. I spent the week between Christmas and New Year’s getting ideas for next year’s cards. Will be doing some of poinsettia and window cards to start with. Thank you for sharing your creations.

Oh Im so happy to see how you used this die. Was put on my wish list right away and wondered how you would use it, now I see. Beautiful just beautiful. Love the colors you used and the pictures look very pretty. I cant imagine how long it took you to put the
tape that thin around this die, yikes, or how you even cut it that thin. Such patience.
Gorgeous card Kittie. Really like how you gave it dimension to the die cut. The colors go so well together

What a pretty card you have created and that Poppystamps die is very desirable.
Love the card. I saw the die and was wondering how to use it on a card. Any card with kitties and butterflies is awesome. Thanks for taking the time to show us how.
a very beautiful card for spring ! I love that die too !
I wondered and waited anxiously what you would do with this lovely die! WOW! Worth the wonderful wait! Gorgeous thank you for the chance to receive the extra die. Someone is going to be very happy!
I love all your creations. They are always so detailed and beautiful. The die you are giving away is gorgeous too. So delicate. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I cannot imagine this card being any more beautiful….photography looks pretty good to me….love it!!!
Gorgeous, I just love that swirling background die and lovely embellishing you have given to it!!
Kittie,
You make the most gorgeous cards. I look forward to visiting your site to see what new idea you have come with. You are always so creative. Thanks for sharing all the details with us. Thanks for the opportunity to win this new die.
What color and brand of lavender card stock do use on the darker lavender cards you make. The one with the hanging lavender flowers and ornate frame. My fave color was lavender lace by SU. They no longer make that. I have been unable to find one I like as well. Thanks again.
Your card is so stunning. You would need a lot of patience to add all those flowers & butterflies. I haven’e heard of this die company before so will have to check it out. Keeping my fingers crossed that I may win!!
Wow! I really like the green behind the purple. It makes the flowers pop! You do the most beautiful cards, I love everyone of them so much! You are my inspiration. If I ever get as good as you at crafting, I’ll be one happy, happy lady. However, I don’t think I could ever come up with my on ideas like you do. My mind is just to old!!!
Saw your card on Pinterest and as always was wowed….Thanks for sharing and for giving us the opportunity to get our hands on the die. Your creativity never ceases to amaze.
Kittie, once again I love your card even if the colors don’t show as well as you want. And I love the Bailiwick background!
beautiful card!
This is absolutely gorgeous! What I couldn’t do with that background die. I’ve never seen anything like it. Thanks for the chance to win it. I may just have to purchase it myself.
