I used the Bloom With Hope Hostess stamp set from Stampin’ Up! to create my card to share today.  I colored the images with the Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers.  A selection of the markers and accessories are now available to purchase!  See more information on my post from Tuesday here.

My card design was inspired by the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #225.

I started by adhering two panels of Park Lane DSP to a panel of Calypso Coral card stock with SNAIL.  I wrapped a strip of Calypso Coral 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon around the panel and adhered it with SNAIL.  Then I tied a strand of Old Olive Baker’s Twine around the panel, making a bow on the right side and I adhered the panel to an Old Olive card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I colored the sentiment from the Label Something stamp set with my Old Olive and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Markers, stamped it on a panel of Daffodil Delight card stock and punched it out with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch.  I tucked it under the edge of the Seam Binding Ribbon, adhering it with SNAIL.

I stamped the flower images from the Bloom With Hope Hostess stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Whisper White card stock.  I used my Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers to color the images.  I started by coloring the darkest areas first, then medium and finally blending everything with the lightest shade.  I went back in and added a few dark shadows after my shading was completed.

I adhered the colored images to panels of Old Olive card stock, then to the card front with SNAIL.  Then I colored two Pearl Basic Jewels with my Daffodil Delight Dark Stampin’ Blendabilities Marker and I added the pearls to the card front to complete it.

I adhered a strip of the leftover Park Lane DSP to a Whisper White panel inside the card.
