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! Online Exclusive Blooming Phrases Photopolymer Stamp Set that will be available starting May 6th for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #830

Start by stamping the stems, which is the extension from the sentiment from the Blooming Phrases stamp set, along the bottom of a Basic White panel in Pool Party Ink. Stamp the single leaf image from the Blooming Phrases stamp set in Pool Party Ink around the stems.

Stamp the flower images from the Blooming Phrases stamp set in Lemon Lolly and Highland Heather Inks on the top of the stems. Stamp 1 of the Highland Heather flowers full strength and the other stamped off once on scrap paper. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pool Party Mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Lemon Lolly mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Highland Heather card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Blooming Phrases stamp set in Pool Party Ink. Stamp the single leaf image from Blooming Phrases stamp set in Pool Party Ink around the stem. Stamp the flower image from Blooming Phrases stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the end of the stem. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a couple Purple Shimmer Gems by the sentiment and a few Tiny Bee Trinkets around the flowers.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Blooming Phrases stamp set in Pool Party Ink. Stamp the single leaf around the stem in Pool Party Ink. Stamp the flower image from Blooming Phrases stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat and a Lemon Lolly mat, then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

Decorate a Basic white Medium Envelope to complete the card. Stamp the stems and leaves from the Blooming Phrases stamp set in Pool Party Ink along the bottom front of the envelope. Stamp the flower images in Highland Heather and Lemon Lolly Ink on the stems. Stamp the sentiment and leaf images from Blooming Phrases stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the envelope flap. Stamp the flower image in Highland Heather Ink, stamped off once on scrap paper, on the stem.
