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 Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Amazing Silhouettes Cling Stamp Set along with the Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to a Blackberry Bliss card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the butterfly image from Amazing Silhouettes stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Amazing Thanks Dies, I cut the detailed sentiment from a panel of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I cut the mat for the sentiment from a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock. I adhered the detailed sentiment to the mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Glue Dots. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Cling Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the butterfly image from the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base.

to complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly image from the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set on the envelope front in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through and see everyone’s projects today.
