I used the Stampin’ Up! Lovely Friends stamp set bundle from the upcoming 2017-18 Annual Catalog to create my card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop today. We’ve got a color challenge this week and this is what I created for it.
I started by adhering a panel from the Delightful Daisy DSP pack (available June 1) to a Thick Whisper White card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely Friends photopolymer stamp set (available June 1) in Night of Navy ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. I adhered the panel to a panel of Night of Navy card stock with SNAIL and then to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the flower images from the Lovely Friends stamp set in Night of Navy and Daffodil Delight inks (background images stamped on scrap paper once) on a panel of Whisper White card stock. I cut the flowers and two sets of leaves from Old Olive card stock with the matching Lovely Laurel Thinlits Dies. I adhered the Daffodil Delight flower with a Stampin’ Dimensional to the card front and the smaller flowers and leaves with Glue Dots.
I adhered strips of Delightful Daisy DSP to both sides of the inside of the card base with SNAIL. The I stamped the sentiment and flowers from the Lovely Friends stamp set in Night of Navy and Daffodil Delight inks on a panel of Whisper White card stock and cut them out with the Lovely Laurel Thinlits dies. I also cut the two background banner pieces from Whisper White card stock and the wreath pieces from Old Olive card stock with the Lovely Laurel Thinlits dies.
I adhered the wreath and background banner die cuts to the inside of the card base with Fast Fuse Adhesive and then adhered the stamped banner and flowers with Glue Dots to finish the inside of the card.
