I used the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Blooms stamp set bundle to create my project 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 the sketch challenge that we’re all using this week:

I started by adhering a panel of patterned paper from the Bloom Boutique Specialty DSP to a panel of Hydrangea Hue card stock with Stampin’ Seal.  Then I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I cut a panel of Crumb Cake card stock with the small oval die from the Stitched Blooms (Online Exclusive item) and then used the Impressions Plate (restocking around November 23) to emboss the die cut.  I adhered the die cut to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Basic White card stock with the same oval die from the Stitched Blooms Dies and then inked the stitches image from the Stitched Blooms stamp set (Online Exclusive item) with Crumb Cake ink, stamped it on scrap paper and then stamped it over the die cut oval.  I adhered the die cut to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.  I applied Adhesive Sheets to the back of a panel of Gold Foil Sheets and then cut the panel with the hanger die from the Stitched Blooms Dies.  I adhered the hanger to the card front with the Adhesives Sheets.

I stamped the detailed floral and stems images from the Stitched Blooms stamp set with Peaceful Pine and Hydrangea Hue inks on a panel of Basic White card stock.  Then I inked the fill-in image from the Stitched Blooms with Hydrangea Hue and Peaceful Pine inks, stamped them on scrap paper and then stamped them over the full-strength images.  I stamped the flower centers on the Basic White panel in Golden Glow ink.  I cut the images with the coordinating Stitched Blooms stamp set and then adhered the flowers with Mini Glue Dots to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stitched Blooms stamp set in VersaMark ink on Hydrangea Hue card stock, sprinkled it with white embossing powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder and then heat embossed it.  I cut the sentiment out with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies and then adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.  I adhered three of the Golden Glow butterflies from the 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies to finish the card front.

I stamped the flower images from the Stitched Blooms stamp set in Peaceful Pine, Hydrangea Hue and Golden Glow inks (stamped off once for the fill-in images) on a panel of Basic White card stock.  I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Hydrangea Hue card stock and then to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal to finish the inside of the card.
