Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set for today’s card.

My colors are from the Fab Friday Challenge #216.

I started by adhering a panel of the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the black bakers twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack around the matted panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Flirty Flamingo card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the sunflower. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the Pattern Party Host DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Flirty Flamingo card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Pattern Party Host DSP to the envelope flap.
