Hello – welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop – 2025!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! We have a sketch challenge today and I have chosen to work with some of the Floral Delight Suite of products from the Jan-April 2025 Mini Catalog, which customers may begin ordering from Jan 7, 2025. WooHoo!

I started with a Daffodil Delight card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4. I stamped around the edges with a leaf stamp from the fabulous Delightful
Wishes stamp set – using Old Olive ink. The next layer is Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 and added with dimensionals. I cut a panel of Floral Delight 12×12 DSP 3 3/4 x 5 and ran it through my Cut & Emboss machine with the extra fun die from Delightful Wishes Dies. See those cute florals peeking through with the Basic White showing? I adhered this to the Basic White panel then proceeded to stamp the sweet flowers from another of the Delightful Wishes stamp set. This particular stamp is a two-step, so I stamped in Dasffodil Delight ink, stamped off then stamped on a Basic White panel. The second stamp was full strength Daffodil Delight. I die cut these with the coordinating die from Delightful Wishes Dies and set them aside. I pulled out a piece of crumb Cake and die cut the branch using Delightful Wishes Dies, then with a Blending Brush added some Pecan Pie ink to create depth. I added these to the card front, trimming them as needed, then added the die cut flowers on dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Pecan Pie ink and die cut with a label die from this same Delightful Wishes Dies. Once that was added with dimensionals, I added three Tiny Bee Trinkets with a dab of liquid glue, and the Linen T
hread bow with a glue dot.

For the inside, I cut another panel of Floral Delight DSP 4 x 5 1/4 and adhered it to the inside. On a Basic White panel I stamped these sweet flowers in the same manner as those on the front – Daffodil Delight stamped off, then the detail full strength. I used the Old Olive Marker to color just the leaves I wanted to stamp around the flowers. And this was adhered to the inside.

For the envelope… I used yet another piece of Floral Delight DSP to add to the flap. And done! Now – time to see what others have created for the hop. Click the ‘next’ button or click on a name to take you on the hop. Enjoy!
