Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. Hope you are all doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a color challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects .
Here are our colors for this week.
Here’s my card using this weeks colors.
I played along with TGIF Inspiration Challenge #282. Here is their inspiration.
I started by stamping the Wreath image from the Stampin’ Up! Arrange A Wreath Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink in the center of a Whisper White card front. I stamped the sentiment from the Arrange A Wreath stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of the wreath. I embossed the panel using the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I cut 1 of the wreaths from the Wreath Builder Dies out of a panel of Whisper White cardstock and 1 from a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I adhered the wreaths to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut 3 flowers from the Wreath Builder Dies out of a panel of Cajun Craze cardstock. I cut the flower centers from a scrap of Basic Black cardstock. I cut 9 sprigs from the Wreath Builder Dies out of a panel of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I adhered the flower centers to the back of the flowers using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers to the wreath using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sprigs around the flowers using Glue Dots.
From the Blackberry Bliss panel I cut the bow from the Wreath Builder Dies and adhered it to the wreath using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls to the card front.
On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Country Home Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Arrange A Wreath stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink around the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To complete my card, I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Arrange A Wreath stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the envelope front and the envelope flap.
