The Stampin’ Up! Year End Sale has started!  Be sure to check below for the details, you definitely won’t want to miss this!!

I’ve got a sneak peek at the upcoming Botanicals for You stamp set from Stampin’ Up!’s 2016 Sale-a-bration brochure to share with you for the Happy Stampers blog hop.  We’ve got a sketch challenge to play along with this week and this is what I created:

Here is the sketch that we’re playing with:

I started by adhering a panel from the Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum Stack (Sale-a-bration item, available Jan 5) to a panel of Botanical Gardens DSP (available Jan 5) with SNAIL.  I applied the SNAIL under the area that the stamped panel would cover.

Do you see the cool outlines in the vellum panel?  They match up perfectly with the Botanical Gardens DSP!  Yippee!!

I stamped the sentiment from the Botanicals For You stamp set (Sale-a-bration item, available Jan 5) in Cajun Craze ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I stamped the flower images from that stamp set in Cajun Craze, Mint Macaron and Hello Honey inks next to the sentiment and the stripe image from the Botanical Blooms Photopolymer stamp set (available Jan 5) in Hello Honey ink on the panel as well.

I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Cajun Craze card stock with SNAIL, then I added a strip of Hello Honey card stock under the Cajun Craze panel.  I adhered the layered panel to the vellum layer with SNAIL.

I wrapped a strand of Crushed Curry Baker’s Twine around the panel, tied a bow and then adhered one of the Botanical Gardens Jewels with a Glue Dot under the twine.  I adhered the layered panel to a Cajun Craze card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment and flowers from the Botanicals for You stamp set in Cajun Craze, Hello Honey and Mint Macaron inks on a Whisper White panel inside the card.

You can find a complete list of supplies, including card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this post.
