Good Thursday morning stamping friends 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 the beautiful projects they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Mary’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Color Challenge to work with. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Painted Pumpkins Bundle, Rustic Check 3D Embossing Folder and Painted Patch Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Stamp the dirt image from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Golden Glow Ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. Emboss the panel using the Rustic Check EF. Adhere a panel of Painted Patch DSP to a Secret Sea mat. Adhere the layered panel to the embossed panel on an angle and trim off excess with Detail Scissors. Adhere the embossed pane to a Secret Sea card base.

Cut the pumpkin images from a panel of Painted Patch DSP using the Painted Pumpkins Dies. Adhere the pumpkins to the bottom of the embossed panel, on top of the dirt, with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Adhere a piece of Calypso Coral/Copper 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon to the card front. Adhere the sentiment over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Painted Patch Dots to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the dirt image from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Golden Glow Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the pumpkin images from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Cajun Craze and Secret Sea Inks on top of the dirt image. Colo the images with Petal Pink and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Secret Sea card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the dirt image from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Golden Glow Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the pumpkin images from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Cajun Craze and Secret Sea Inks on top of the dirt. Color the images with Cajun Craze, Petal Pink and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Painted Patch DSP to the envelope flap.
