Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends.  How was everyone’s Cinco De Mayo?  Did anyone have their own little celebration?  Yesterday I got to place my preorder for the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.  My credit card is in a bit of shock.  I can’t wait to start giving you some sneak peeks.  There’s some awesome new things coming.

For today’s card I played around with another retiring set that always makes me smile when I make a card with it.  Here’s my card for today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Getting Sketchy Challenge #230.

My colors are from Cardz 4 Galz Challenge #120.  Their colors are Black and Pink.

I also played along with Paper Players Theme Challenge #489.  Here is their theme.

I started by embossing a Flirty Flamingo card front using my Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the panel to a Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped one of the cow images from the Stampin’ Up! Over The Moon Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored the image in using my Light Basic Black, Flirty Flamingo and Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the image out using the 2nd largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies.  I cut a scalloped circle from a panel of Basic Black cardstock using my Layering Circles Dies.  I adhered the artwork to the scalloped circle using Snail and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a thin strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Over The Moon stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I colored a few Frosted Epoxy Droplets using my Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Marker and adhered them to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Over The Moon stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I just love puns.  I stamped another one of the cow images from Over The Moon stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it in using my Light Basic Black and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped 2 different cow images from the Over The Moon stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, one on the envelope front and one on the envelope flap.  I colored the images in using my Light Basic Black, Flirty Flamingo and Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
