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 Mary’s blog, thank you for stopping by. We have a new team member joining the hop today. Be sure to stop by Nicole’s blog and say hi. 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! Artistic Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set and the 2025-2027 In-Colors, to do some double time stamping for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Lightly adhere the panels of Basic White together so that you can easily take them apart. Randomly stamp the large and small solid leaf images from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Old Olive Ink around the adhered panels.

Stamp the large, detailed leaf image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Darling Duckling, Strawberry Slush and Timid tiger Inks over the solid images. Stamp the small, detailed leaf image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Cloud Cover Ink over the small, solid leaf images. Stamp the splatter image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in secret Sea Ink randomly around the layered panels. Adhere the smaller Basic White panel to a Cloud Cover mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the larger Basic White panel, matching up the leaf outlines.

Adhere the layered panel to a Cloud Cover card base. Stamp the sentiment from Artistic Leaves stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the small leaf image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set, on either side of the sentiment in Old Olive Ink. Stamp the small, detailed leaf image in Cloud Cover Ink over the solid leaf images. Stamp the splatter image in Secret Sea Ink around the leaves. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Cloud Cover card base.

Complete the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. stamp the large leaf image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the large, detailed leaf image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Darling Duckling and Timid tiger over the solid leaf image. Stamp the small leaf image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the envelope flap. Stamp the small, detailed leaf image in cloud Cover over the solid image. Stamp the splatter image in Secret Sea Ink around the leaves on the envelope front and flap.
