Welcome, welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I’m using the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP to show off. This one does not have a scene, but it does have this beautiful pattern of light Calypso Coral & Pecan Pie. I’ve paired this with Beautifully Celebrated Dies from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog. This bundle of stamps & dies is very versatile! I’ve also brought in the stamp set Prayers & Promises from the same Jan-Apr – 2026 Mini Catalog.

In looking closely to the card, I hope you see the Damask Designs 3D embossing behind the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP. Those wonderfully scalloped ovals are from the Beautifully Celebrated Dies. I die cut these from Pecan Pie card stock and Basic White. The stamping was done with Pecan Pie ink prior to die cutting. The embellishments are Pearls of Beauty in Calypso Coral. And the ribbon – 3/8″ Gold & White ribbon from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog. 😀

Directions:

• The card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Pecan Pie with a Layer of the same color & same size, embossed with damask Designs EF & attached to the card base.
• The Calypso Coral portion of the card is 8 1/2 x 4 3/4 scored at 4 1/4 on the long side & attached to the card front.
• Layer a panel of Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP (from the Annual Catalog!) 4 1/4 x 4 5/8 to the Calypso Coral
• Stamp the sentiment in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White 2 x 2 1/2 & die cut using the Beautifully Celebrated Dies. Add with dimesnionals to a Pecan Pie piece die cut with the Beautifully Celebrated Dies
• Loop a length of the 3/8″ Gold & White ribbon and attach to the back of the Pecan Pie die cut, add these to the card front with dimensionals.
• Final touch… two Pearls of Beauty embellishments in calypso Coral

For the inside of the card… on the panel of Basic White I added die cuts of these two corner pieces, die cut from Calypso Coral using the Beautifully Celebrated Dies. They add such a fun texture & ‘eye candy’ to the inside of the card, nothing else is needed.
