Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. How is everyone doing today? If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we had a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects .
Here is the sketch we had to work from.
As soon as my daughter saw this stamp set she asked me to make a card for her using the Turtle. She has a whole turtle collection. Here’s my card using this sketch.
I started by adhering a panel of the Whale of a Time 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Balmy Blue card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered another panel of the Whale of a Time 6 X 6 DSP to a Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal and then adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the turtle image from the Stampin’ Up! Whale Done Photopolymer Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Whale Done stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink below the turtle image. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I cut a scalloped mat out of Balmy Blue cardstock using the Layering Ovals Dies. I adhered the artwork to the mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added some of the Whale of a Time Sequins to the card front using my Fine Tip Glue Pen.
On the inside I adhered 2 strips of the Whale of a Time DSP to either side of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Many Mates Cling Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink in the center of the panel. I stamped the seaweed image from the Whale Done stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink on the bottom of the panel, stamping off once. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the turtle image from the Whale Done stamp set on the envelope front in Just Jade Ink. I adhered a panel of the Whale of a Time 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap.
