Hello – and WELCOME to the Happy In kin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today & I’ve maybe stretched the parameters just a bit, but I like the card and think it works.

I’ve used some ONLINE EXCLUSIVE products for this card – primarily the Mixed Media Florals DSP, the Mixed Labels Bundle and the Mixed Florals Bundle. I LOVE this DSP for the background. It reminds me a bit of a jungle and it was adhered directly to the Garden Green card base. The multiple die cut leaves are in Garden Green, Shaded Spruce and Shy Shamrock & I used the Mixed Florals Dies to create them. I simply adhered them with dabs of liquid glue but could very easily have used Adhesive Sheets as a backing, I just didn’t. The next step was to stamp the sentime on a Basic White scrap in Garden Green ink using the Mixed Labels stamp set. I die this and the rectangular piece using the Mixed Labels Dies. I adhered the fence-like piece to the back of the sentiment label then added dimensionals to the sentiment & attached it to the card. Viola!

For the inside… I stamped this beautiful floral image in Memento ink on the Basic White panel then colored it with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends. Done!

For the envelope… I added more of the Mixed Media Florals DSP to the flap (after messing up the stamp image of the leaf!), trimmed the paper to fit. Since the mess-up of the stamped image on the flap, I decided to add some ink ‘edging’ to the remaining leaves, making them look like the leaves on the DSP :O) I added some extra ‘doodles’ for fun – all this with a SU! Journaling Pen. For the envelope front, I stamped the image of the leaves (just fine) with Shy Shamrock ink & used a Blends in Shy Shamrock to add some extra color depth. I also stamped the same sweet image as on the inside of the card in Memento ink & colored the flowers with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends. Finis…

This is such pretty DSP and the coordinating bundles are so perfect to layer or use individually. I encourage you to visit my ONLINE EXCLUSIVE store – see info below.
