Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. How is your week going?
For today’s card I used the Stampin’ Up Incredible Like You Photopolymer Stamp Set. I love the sentiments in this set and the floral image is so pretty. Take a look.
For my card I also played along with 3 challenges. The first is Just Add Ink Challenge #445. Be sure to stop by to see what everyone had made. Their challenge was Just Add Embossing, which I did. I heat embossed and I used an embossing folder.
Next I played along with Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge # 309. Be sure to stop by and play along with their challenge and see what everyone has made. Theirs is a color challenge, and the colors are beautiful together.
Last is What Will You Stamp challenge #208. Theirs is a specific stamp set you must use. Be sure to stop by and play along with them too.
I started by stamping the sentiment from Incredible Like You stamp set in Pool Party Ink on a small piece of Whisper White cardstock. I immediately sprinkled it with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. You can emboss in any color when you use clear embossing powder. I then stamped the stems from the same stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink around the bottom of the sentiment, then stamped the flowers, from the same stamp set, on the stems in Highland Heather Ink. Using my Big Shot and the oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, I cut the sentiment out and set it aside.
On a panel of Pool Party cardstock I stamped the flowers from the Incredible Like You stamp set in Pool Party Ink. I stamped the inside of the flower stamping off once then stamped the second part of the flower full strength Pool Party Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the same stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink randomly around. I ran the Pool Party panel through my Big Shot using the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to give it a little more texture.
I adhered the card front to a Highland Heather mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon around the center of the card front. I adhered the stitched oval with the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered the card front to a Soft Sea Foam card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Clear Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.
On the inside I stamped the stems and flowers from the Incredible Like You stamp set in Soft Sea Foam and Highland Heather Inks on the bottom of a Whisper White cardstock panel. I stamped the larger flower in the center of the Whisper White panel in Pool Party Ink, stamping the inside colored part off twice and the second part of the flower stamping off once. I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set in Highland Heather Ink over the top of the flower. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Highland Heather mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the stems and flowers from the Incredible Like You stamp set on the bottom of the envelope front the same as I did on my card. I stamped the larger flower image in Pool Party Ink on the envelope flap.

I then stamped the floral image, lining it up using my Stamparatus, in Petal Pink Ink.

I took a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped it with one of the tree images from the Lovely As A Tree stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I quickly sprinkled it with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. I then started sponging colors to give it a bit of a sunset look. I started at the bottom with Old Olive and Mossy Meadow Inks. Going up, I sponged with So Saffron, Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody Inks blending them together.

I placed the 2 hearts on the artwork panel the way I thought I’d like them and stamped the Love You sentiment from the Forever Lovely stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink inside the bottom heart. I then adhered the hearts to the artwork using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the artwork to a Whisper White mat using Snail then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
