Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. How is everyone doing today? If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we had a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects .
Here is the sketch we had to work from.
Here’s my card using this sketch.
I started by adhering a panel of Artistry Bloom Designer Series Paper to a Whisper White card base using Stampin’ Seal.
I adhered 3 panels of Basic Black cardstock to a Granny Apple Green panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed the panel using my Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the banana and pineapple bottom images from the Stampin’ Up! Cute Fruit Photopolymer Stamp Set in Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped the pineapple top and the watermelon rind images from the Cute Fruit stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I stamped the watermelon image from the Cute Fruit stamp set inside the rind image in Melon Mambo Ink. I stamped all the face images from the Cute Fruit stamp set on the fruit in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I fussy cut all the fruit using my Paper Snips.
I adhered all the cut fruit image to the Basic Black panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the artwork panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a thin strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Cute Fruit stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I adhered the sentiment across the fruit images using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Cute Fruit stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the watermelon rind image from the Cute Fruit stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the panel. I stamped the watermelon image from the Cute Fruit stamp set inside the rind in Melon Mambo Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Granny Apple Green mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the pineapple bottom and banana images from the Cute Fruit stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the pineapple top image from the Cute Fruit stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I stamped the face images from the Cute Fruit stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the fruit. I adhered a panel of the Artistry Blooms DSP to the envelope flap.
