Hello there! I'm so sorry my post is a couple hours late. I'm visiting family up in beautiful Montana and loving every minute of it :)
Today we're starting our May release spotlight hops and starting it off with a super cute set called Button Best!
For the green card panel, I cut a whole bunch of sprigs out with one of the new dies releasing this month, called Sprightly Sprigs. I love how it kind of looks like a coverplate! the flowers from Button Best were cut out with the new Petal Points die set and then I stamped and embossed the flowers with white EP. I stamped some of the buttons and then cut them out with my Spellbinders circle dies. The sentiment die was cut with the Flourish Trim die.
As I often do with sentiment stamps, I cut this one apart so I could stamp it in different colors. You could just mask off one word and stamp and then mask off the other word and stamp, but I've ruined so many cards by getting ink on a part I didn't mean to, that I just cut them if I can:) I'm crazy like that!

That overlay die is beautiful! Very pretty card!
what a fabulous idea, Amber! love the negative-cut leaves!
What a great idea! Love the way you created the background! Faux cutting plate! I love it! The added glimmer is a bonus too!
Love the die cut background of your card.
I love how you created the negative background on purpose! I am always cutting out die shapes and never thought of randomly placing them on a background layering piece of cs to use on another card.
What a fab idea to use a die to make your back ground paper, I must try that. Your card is so lovely and fresh and with a change of sentiment it's great for any time.

Very beautiful!!
Such a fun card! I love your flowers--so shiny.
Love all the leaves. :-)
Oh.....gorgeous! I love the die cut background you created and those vellum flowers are stunning.
I love the soft look of your card! Pinks and greens with a pop of glittered yellow cs are so pretty. And yes, the green background looks like a coverplate. What wonderful way to get some green sprigs for other projects! Brilliant!
Love how you used the die cut for the background and such a beautiful card with sparkles!!
Love that background die. Very cool. I love how you handled the sentiment panel. Well done.
What a great idea to keep cutting out a die to create a cover plate. I will have to definitely try that. It looks amazing on your card.
Wonderful card, wonderful collection!

Love those glittery leaves!
Fresh and pretty! Love how you used the leafy sprigs die for your background.
This is an amazing card...great use of the new die to make a 'cover plate' background, and I love the vellum flowers. Well done.
Love how you cut out the background using the die. Love the green.
Love the vellum flowers Amber!
What an AHA inspirational moment and all thanks to you, since you've used the dies on the background layer. I love that die set anyway, but you made it SUPER great.
Very pretty! And thanks for the inspiration of making a cover plate by using the negative of the die cut! I would never have thought of that.
That overlay die is stunning and I love the shimmer all over our card! Beautiful!
So pretty - love the colors and the die cut.
