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. This week we have a Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Path Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors this week.

I started by wrapping a piece of the Petal Pink 5/8″ Organdy Striped Ribbon around a Flowering Fields DSP card front adhering it on the back with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Flowering Fields DSP to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the stem images from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the flowers from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pumpkin Pie, Highland Heather, Petal Pink & Poppy Parade Inks on the stems. I stamped the grass image from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, along the bottom of the panel. I cut the image our using the largest Layering Circles Dies. I cut a coordinating scallop circle from a panel of Pool Party cardstock using the largest scallop circle from the Layering Circle Dies. I adhered the artwork to the scallop circle and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink and cut it out using the smallest Tailor-Made Tags Die. I stamped the tiny flower image from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on either side of the sentiment. I threaded a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack through the tag and tied a small bow. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped 3 of the stem images from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the flower images from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Highland Heather, Petal Pink & Poppy Parade Inks on the stems. I stamped the grass image from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the 2-stem image s from the Wildflower Path stamp set on the envelope front in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the flower images from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Highland Heather, Petal Pink and Poppy Parade Inks. I stamped the grass image from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamped off once, across the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Flowering Fields DSP to the envelope flap.
