Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s weekend so far? I hope you are finding some time for yourself.

For today I used another bundle from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog, the Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts Bundle. It’s a beautiful tropical set which I just love. Here’s my card for today.

I played along with the TGIF challenge #300. This was an easy one since the catalog just went live.

My upline Jaimie Babarczy is doing a challenge for our team this month. Each week she is giving us a sketch and color challenge. I used the colors only for today’s card. Here’s this weeks challenge.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts Stamp Set in the center of a Basic White card front in Mint Macaron Ink. I embossed the panel using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.

Using the Tranquil Dies, I cut the largest image from a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock and adhered it to the Basic White card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the edges. I trimmed the excess using my Paper Snips. I stamped the leaves from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower image from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the same panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the images out using the Tranquil Dies.

I adhered the leaves and flowers to the card front using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Thick Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in the center of a Basic White panel in Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped the flower image from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in Petal Pink on the bottom of the panel and the small leaf image in Coastal Cabana Ink near the flowers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I stamped the flower image from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the bottom front of the envelope and the envelope flap. I stamped the leaf images from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink on the envelope flap.

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