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

Here is the sketch that we’re all using today:

I started by adhering a panel of patterned paper from the Painterly Pears DSP (Online Exclusive item) to the front of a Mossy Meadow card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then I cut another panel of Painterly Pears DSP with one of the Textured Notes Dies (Online Exclusive item restocking around July 7). I adhered the die cut panel to a panel of Early Espresso card stock with Stampin’ Seal and then to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock two times with the branch die from the Perfectly Pears Dies (Online Exclusive item) and then adhered the die cuts with Mini Glue Dots to the card front. Then I stamped the flower image from the Perfectly Pears photopolymer stamp set (Online Exclusive item) twice in Early Espresso and Darling Duckling inks on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut them out with the coordinating Perfectly Pears Dies. I adhered the die cut flowers to the card front with Mini Glue Dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Perfectly Pears stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Early Espresso card stock, sprinkled it with white embossing powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders and then heat embossed it. I cut the sentiment out with one of the Perfectly Pears Dies and then adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front. I added two Low Profile Sparkle Dots to finish the card front.

I stamped the flower images from the Perfectly Pears stamp set in Early Espresso and Darling Duckling inks on a panel of Basic White card stock panel to finish the inside of the card.
