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 Color Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Bundle along with the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here are our colors for this week.

I started by embossing a Soft Succulent card front using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large and small flower images from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker. Using my Harvest Dies, I cut out the stamped images, the branches from a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock and the wheat die from panels of Misty Moonlight and Soft Succulent cardstock. I arranged the dies the way I wanted them and adhered them to the card front using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I made a bow from a piece of 3/8″ Diamond Weave Ribbon and Crumb Cake bakers twine, from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack, and adhered it to the bottom of the arranged flowers using a Glue Dot.

I adhered a small piece of the Cork Specialty Paper just under the Harvest Meadow DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Woods Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Succulent Ink on a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using my Harvest Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the cone flower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Soft Succulent Stampin Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller flower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Marker and my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered a panel of Harvest Meadow DSP to the envelope flap.
