Hello and welcome to Aprils InspireINK Blog Hop.
Our lovely Tina Ehlich suggested a Just Because theme for this hop – a card or a little something for Family or Friends to keep their spirits up.

Here in the UK, we are still in lockdown and the majority of us have been stuck at home for more than a month.
We worry about our loved ones, we miss the socialising and the life we had before this global Coronavirus pandemic and this is all taking a toll on us. Sending or receiving a beautiful card in the mail can be really uplifting.

For my cards I spent several hours making ink blended backgrounds which is one of my favourite things to do. The next day I set up my Stamparatus and stamped different images on the blended backgrounds including the Eiffel Tower image from the Parisian Beauty stamp set which is currently on the Retiring List.
The Timeless Tulips is another great stamp set and I love that it has a coordinating punch.

I hope that all the projects you see today will inspire you to make some Just Because cards and send them to your loved ones to cheer them up.
Now I ask that you click on the name below each picture and see what the talented ladies on the InspireINK team have made. They would also welcome comments too.
Take care and stay safe.

Hi Lady Dee: I think everybody is confined . . . at least, we are, too; and in my home country, Peru, they just extended the confinement until May 10th. Unfortunately, I can never see the hops!! Sniff!! Sniff!!
