Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers.  The weekend is just about here.  Is anyone starting to make plans?  I’ll be working all weekend, but today I’ll be having fun walking around the Philadelphia Zoo.  Hopefully it won’t be too hot for the animals to be out.

For today’s card I used a new set in the up coming 2019 Holiday Catalog.  Take a look.

My colors were inspired by The Color Throwdown Challenge #557.  Here are their colors.

My sketch is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #400.  Here is their sketch.

I started by embossing a Highland Heather card front using the Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the embossed panel to a Highland Heather card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the floral image from the Stampin’ Up Seasonal Wreaths Photopolymer Stamp Set twice in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored the image in using my Balmy Blue, Bermuda Bay, Highland Heather and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the image out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to a Whisper White mat using Snail.  Using the next size up Stitched Rectangle Die I cut a piece of So Saffron Subtle 6″ X 6″ Designer Series Paper and adhered it onto a So Saffron mat using Snail.  I adhered the artwork to the top of the matted DSP hanging off the right side using Snail and then adhered it to my card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Seasonal Wreaths stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink.  I cut the sentiment out using the oval from my Stitched Shapes Dies.  I cut the scalloped Balmy Blue mat out using my Layering Ovals Dies and adhered the sentiment to the mat using Snail.  I adhered the matted sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot.  I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Seasonal Wreaths stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the larger floral image from the Seasonal Wreaths stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the 2 corners.  I stamped the smaller flower from the Seasonal Wreaths stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on either side of the sentiment.  I colored all the flowers in using my Balmy Blue, Bermuda Bay, Highland Heather and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a So Saffron mat using Snail and then to the inside of my Highland Heather card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the floral image from the Seasonal Wreaths stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front and colored it in the same as I did for my card.  I adhered a panel of the So Saffron Subtle 6″ X 6″ DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I hope you liked my card.  This stamp set will be available on September 4th for purchase.

Happy Stamping!!
