Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms bundle along with other products from the Beautiful Gallery suite to make a Here for You card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week and I substituted a simple bow for the greenery below the center panel.

Emboss a strip of Cloud Cover Beautiful Gallery 6″x 6″ designer series paper with the pretty Damask Designs embossing folder and adhere it to another panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP. Adhere the layered DSP panel to a Pecan Pie mat and pop it on the front of a Basic Beige card base with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Cloud Cover and cut it out with the second smallest square from the Stylish Shapes dies. Adhere it to a Pecan Pie mat and pop it on the card with dimensionals. Stamp the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Gallery stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Basic Beige. Color the flowers with white craft ink using a blender pen and the leaves with the light Cloud Cover Stampin’ Blend marker. Use the light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend to color the flower centers. After the flowers dry (it takes a while for the white craft ink to dry completely) cut the flowers out with the coordinating die.

Adhere the flowers to the card over the sentiment with dimensionals. Make a loopy Basic Beige bow and adhere it to the card with a glue dot under the sentiment. Finish with textured dots.

For the inside, stamp the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on the top of a Basic White panel and color the leaves with the light Cloud Cover Stampin Blend. Emboss a strip of Beautiful Gallery DSP with the Damask Designs embossing folder and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I tried using white watercolor pencils to make the flowers white, but I found the white craft ink with the Blender Pen works best. I love how the white flowers pop against the beige background!
