Hello Thursday! And that means another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today and I’ve chosen to work with the Wildflower Designs stamp set, the Labeled with Love Punch and Full of Life 6×6 DSP to create my card.

I began by punching these fun shapes using the Labeled with Love Punch and Basic White card stock. I used scraps but you could cut two pieces 2 1/2 x 4 1/2. I stamped these with two different flower designs – in Memento ink using Wildflower Designs stamp set. I colored these with Stampin’ Blends In Colors: Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink, Petunia Pop and Shy Shamrock. I then used the Summer Splash ink and the splotch stamp in the same Wildflower Designs stamp set, stamped it off once and then on the flower. I varied the placement of the stamping so it didn’t look too uniform. With the stamping and coloring completed, I cut a Full of Life 6×6 DSP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, added two strips of Pretty in Pink card stock 1 x 4 1/8 with stampin’ Seal, then added the stamped flowers with dimensionals. I like to place my center panels first, then use equal spacing for the rest. I wrapped Black Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack around the card three times and tied a bow, securing it with a glue dot. I put dimesnionals on the DSP and adhered it to a Petunia Pop card base – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. My final touch for the card front was adding Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins in two colors.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink using the Wildflower Designs stamp set. I added a 1/2 x 4 strip of the same DSP as the card front. I also had a length of the Black Baker’s Twine that I tied in a bow and added as an enhancement. This panel was adhered in place and the card was complete.

For the envelope – a bit of another panel of Full of Life 6×6 DSP on the flap adhered in place and trimmed to fit. I stamped another of the pretty flowers from Wildflower Designs stamp set on the DSP and yet another flower on the envelope front – both in Memento ink. Again, I used the splotch stamp and Summer Splash ink to stamp over the flower in second generation ink. This is such a happy card – and I know to whom I’ll send it!
