Welcome to InKing Royalty’s March Blog Hop! Despite the occasional cold spell or snowfall in some areas, we are well into Spring – and we are ready for the flowers to bloom. We are excited to share our flower-filled creations with you and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

The fact that I love flowers is an understatement.  I ADORE flowers!  Stampin’ Up! has so many beautiful flower offerings in the catalogs.  It’s hard to pick just one, but I chose the Two-Tone Flower Bundle in the January-April Mini Catalog. Not only is the bundle beautiful, so is the gorgeous Fancy 
Flora Designer Series Paper.  I’ve paired these beauties with one of the dies from the Artisan Addition Dies found in the Annual Catalog.  Here’s what I created.

This card is so easy to make.  Let me show you how.
