Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. How is everyone doing today? Hope you are all staying heathly and safe. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects today. This week we had a Color Challenge, here are the colors we got to work with.
Here’s what I came up with for these colors.
My design is from Global Design Projects Sketch Challenge #234. Here is their sketch.
I started by adhering a panel of Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper to a Soft Suede card base using Snail.
On a Whisper White cardstock panel I stamped the shoreline and bird images from the Stampin’ Up! By The Dock Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I stamped the boat and oars images from the By The Dock stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the Whisper White panel. I colored the images in using my Dark Real Red and Light Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the frog image from the By The Dock stamp set in Old Olive Ink and colored it in using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Dockside Dies. From a small panel of Old Olive cardstock I cut the shoreline from the Dockside Dies out. I cut the die cut in half using my Paper Snips. I cut a banner using my Banner Triple Punch from a small panel of Real Red cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday’s Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom of the banner. I embossed the banner using my Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder.
I adhered the banner to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the boat, oars and frog to the stitched circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I adhered the artwork to the banner using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the shoreline die behind the artwork using Glue Dots. I stamped a couple more of the birds from the By The Dock stamp set on the card front in Soft Suede Ink.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the boat image from the By The Dock stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Dark Real Red and Light Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the bird image from the By The Dock stamp set 3 times above the sentiment in Soft Suede Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Real Red mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Soft Suede card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the boat and frog images from the By The Dock stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom of the envelope front. I colored the images in using my Old Olive, Dark Real Red and Light Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the bird image from the By The Dock stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, 3 times in the center of the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Tropical Oasis DSP to the envelope flap.

APRIL 2020 PAPER PUMPKIN: MY WONDERFUL FAMILY
SUBSCRIBE MARCH 11-APRIL 10
At Paper Pumpkin, we believe in making a difference—especially when it comes to helping you build relationships through papercrafting. For April, we created a fun, family appreciation themed card kit that would make it easy for you to share your hearts with those you love most: mom, dad, daughter, son, sister, and brother. April’s kit even includes Mother’s Day and Father’s Day sentiments, giving you the perfect way to show your appreciation for beloved parents on their special days with a beautiful, handmade card.
One more thing about this “fam-tastic” kit: The Paper Pumpkin team knows that everyone’s clan is unique. With that in mind, we provided sentiments that would include anyone in your life who feels like family; for instance, “brothers” and “sisters” who have helped you along the journey of life.
