I used the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful stamp set to create my card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  We’ve got a theme challenge this week and this is what I made for it.

Here is our theme for this week:

My card design was inspired by the Fusion Sketch this week:

I started by adhering a panel of In Good Taste DSP to the front of an Early Espresso card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I adhered strips of DSP from the Brights 6″ x 6″ DSP (Mango Melody) and from the Plaid Tidings 6″ x 6″ DSP to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the tree image from the Life is Beautiful photopolymer stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I stamped the leaf image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set two times in Crushed Curry ink and two times in Mango Melody ink over the original tree image.  Then I inked the birdhouse image in Crumb Cake and Pretty Peacock inks and I stamped it on the Whisper White card stock panel.  I cut around the image with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and then cut around it with one of the Stitched Shapes Dies.  I adhered the die cut sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added three Pumpkin Pie rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish the card front.

I adhered a strip of the In Good Taste DSP to the bottom of a panel of Whisper White card stock to finish the inside of the card.
