Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’m hoping you are enjoying all the new products that were just released this week because I certainly am. So I’ve used the new Online Exclusives Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals bundle to make today’s friendship card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.
We have a pretty color challenge this week and I used most of the colors in my card:
I adhered a panel of Mixed Media Florals designer series paper to the front of a Boho Blue card base with liquid glue. I cut a Basic White panel with the second largest Perennial Postage dies and embossed it with the new Plaster Painting 3D embossing folder before adhering it to a Boho Blue mat. I adhered it to the card with liquid glue.
I stamped the large tulip stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I colored the image with Stampin’ Blends, Flirty Flamingo for the tulips, Granny Apple Green for the leaves and Daffodil Delight for the small flowers. I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card with dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment from the Mixed Labels stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Boho Blue and cut it out with small label die from the Perennial Postage dies. I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals stamp set, cut it out with the coordinating die, and colored it with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the flower to the card with glue dots and popped the sentiment label on top with dimensionals (I doubled up on the left side). I finished the card with a triple bow made with gold trim and gold flat dots.
For the inside panel, I stamped the floral sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the top corner of a Basic White panel and colored it with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the little ladybug underneath and colored it with Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals bundle are so beautiful and this large stamp is huge, so it easily fills up a card front. It’s a great set for coloring, using any technique and it will be wonderful for sending Spring wishes for any occasion.
