Stampin’ Up! Sweet Old Friends Looking For Happiness Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Words & Labels stamp set to create my project for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  We’ve got a sketch challenge this week and this is what I made for it.Stampin' Up! Sweet Old Friends Looking For Happiness Card

Here is the sketch that we’re all using this week:

I started by adhering a panel of patterned paper from the Wood Grain Wonders DSP (Online Exclusive item) to the front of an Early Espresso card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I adhered a panel of Silly Old Bear DSP (Online Exclusive item) to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Old Friends Looking For Happiness Card

I snipped one of the Winnie The Pooh and Piglet images from another panel of Silly Old Bear DSP and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Words & Labels stamp set (Online Exclusive item) in VersaMark ink on a panel of Early Espresso card stock, sprinkled it with white embossing powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder and then heat embossed it.

I cut the sentiment out with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies and then trimmed off the left edge of the die cut.  I adhered the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the Pooh and Piglet image from the Sweet Old Friends stamp set (Online Exclusive item) in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock and then colored the image with Light and Dark Old Olive, Barely Blush and Golden Glow Stampin’ Blends Markers to finish the inside of the card.
