I used the Stampin’ Up! Extraordinary Flora stamp set to create my project for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a color challenge this week and this is what I made for it.

Here are the colors that we’re all using this week:

My card design was inspired by The Paper Players #PP739.
I started by adhering a panel of patterned paper from the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty DSP to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then I cut another panel of Kintsugi Inspirations DSP with one of the Textured Notes Dies three times. I adhered the die cuts to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I cut a panel of Kintsugi Inspirations DSP with the vase and flower dies Inspiring Imperfections Dies and then adhered the die cut vases with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the flower with Mini Glue Dots to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Extraordinary Flora photopolymer stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Cloud Cover card stock, sprinkled it with gold embossing powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder and then heat embossed it. I cut the sentiment out with the banner die from the Inspiring Imperfections Dies and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added two Cloud Cover dots from the Muted Palette Dots to finish the card front.

I adhered a strip of Kintsugi Inspirations DSP to the bottom of a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.
