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! Cup of Tea Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Bundle and the Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors for this week, the 2022-2024 In-Colors.

I started by adhering the largest panel of Tea Boutique DSP to a Starry Sky card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the longer thin panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the medium rectangle panel of Tea Boutique DSP using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller rectangle panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the top of the layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a piece of Starry Sky 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut the 4th largest Layering Circles Die from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I embossed the panel using my Hive 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a scalloped circle which I cut with the coordinating Layering Circle Dies from a panel of Tahitian Tide cardstock. I adhered the layered circles to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cup of Tea Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Tahitian Tide cardstock. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder from the Basic Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Teacup Dies. I adhered the teacup to the center of the layered circles using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the hearts using the Teacup Dies from a small panel of Sweet Sorbet cardstock. I adhered the hearts to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I stamped the sentiment in the same place on a panel of Sweet Sorbet cardstock in Starry Sky Ink. On the bottom of the Basic White panel, I stamped the teacup image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to the Sweet Sorbet mat, lining up the sentiment with the negative die cut area. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the teacup and teabag tag images from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the teacup in using my Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Cup of Tea stamp set in the tag in Starry Sky Ink. I drew a line using my Starry Sky Stampin’ Write Marker from the cup to the tag. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the envelope flap.
