Good Thursday morning stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Artful Amaryllis Bundle along with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week

My colors are from Colours & Sketch Challenge #544.

I also joined in with the Inspire. Create. Challenge #176 – Floral

Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to a Basic Beige mat using Stampin’ Seal. Using a Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Write Marker, flick some ink on a smaller panel of Country Woods DSP. Adhere the smaller panel of Country Woods DSP to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the small, layered panel to the larger layered panel using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered card front to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the outlined amaryllis image from the Stampin’ Up! Artful Amaryllis Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the solid stem/leaf image from the Artful Amaryllis stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Stamp the solid flower image from the Artful Amaryllis stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink over the outlined image. To get a lighter image of the flower, use a Sponge Dauber to apply the ink to the stamp. Cut the image out using the Artful Amaryllis Dies. Adhere the flower to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Blackberry Bliss, stamp the sentiment from the Artful Amaryllis stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Using the die from the Artful Amaryllis Dies, emboss a strip of Basic Beige. Adhere the sentiment to the Basic Beige embossed strip using Glue Dots. Adhere the sentiment to the card front over the flower stem using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the ends only.,

For the inside, stamp the sentiment from Artful Amaryllis stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Stamp the outline image of the amaryllis from the Artful Amaryllis stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel. Stamp the solid stem/leaf image in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Stamp the solid flower image in Misty Moonlight Ink over the outlined image. Using the Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Write Markers, flick some ink around the flower image. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base.

To complete the card, decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the amaryllis image from the Artful Amaryllis stamp set on the envelope front the same as for the card. Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap,
