Welcome to The Clearsnap{The Stamps} of Life by Stephanie Barnard Blog Hop! All today it's about stamping and inking, creating and sharing. Be sure to visit everyone on the hop and leave a comment to be entered to win a fabulous prize of Stephanie Barnard’s line of ColorBox inkpads, Stephanie Barnard Sprays!, and Stephanie’s new SCREENS!

I love the Clearsnap Stephanie Barnard Colorbox ink pads.  They come in such pretty colors and always just make your images "pop."  :)  I did a quick and easy card using one of my favorite ink colors in these ink pads....Grape (it even sounds good.)  ;)  I chose The {Stamps} of Life clear stamp set called banners2cut for this card.  I also used a Sizzix Textured Impressions Chevrons embossing folder.  The cardstock is by Diecuts With A View (in light orchid and violet colors).  The butterfly was done with a Martha Stewart punch (probably the punch I use more than any other).  :)  So the next time you are stamping and want pretty colors and crisp images, reach for Clearsnap's Stephanie Barnard Colorbox Dye ink pads.  :)
