Good Thursday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by. This week we had a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.
Here is the sketch we had to work from.
Here’s my card using this weeks sketch.
I started by adhering a panel of the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper to an Early Espresso mat using Snail. I added a strip of Blushing Bride cardstock to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Mint Macaron 1/8″ Sheer Linen Ribbon around the Blushing Bride strip and tied a small bow. I adhered the card front to a Blushing Bride card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I embossed a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. I swiped my Mint Macaron stamp pad across the panel to highlight the raised parts. I adhered the embossed panel to an Early Espresso mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the tea cup image from the Stampin’ Up! Tea Together Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the image out using my Tea Time Dies. I stamped the small flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of the tea cup. I colored the tea cup using my Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends Markers and the flower image in using my Old Olive and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the tea cup to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Tea Together stamp set in Early Espresso Ink I cut the image out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The sentiment fits perfectly with the smallest die.
I adhered the sentiment to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Pearl Basic Jewel in the center of the flower on the tea cup.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Cling Stamp Set in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the tea cup image from the Tea Together stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink over the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel to an Early Espresso mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the teacup image from the Tea Together stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the sentiment from the Tea Together stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink inside the tea cup. I adhered a panel of the Ornate Garden Specialty 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.
