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 Karen Finkel’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 new Stampin’ Up! Fond of Autumn Bundle along with the Sale-a-bration Ring of Love Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by embossing a Mint Macaron card front using the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Rings of Love DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the top of the large floral image from the Fond of Autumn stamp set twice in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the small flower from the Fond of Autumn stamp set twice on the Basic White panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron, Pale papaya and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using my Autumn Bouquet Dies. I adhered the larger flower images to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the Basic White panel, I stamped the banner from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Night of Navy Ink inside the banner. I cut the banner out using the Autumn Bouquet Dies. I adhered the banner between the flower images using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the 2 smaller flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Solid Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the sentiment. I colored the flowers using my Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the inside of the Mint Macron card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Ring of Love DSP to the envelope flap.
