Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a sketch challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table. I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
I decided to play a bit with the sketch and turn it into a fun fold. A super SUPER simple one! But – I gave it a little extra sumpin’ sumpin’ by using the cool black and white Artisan Sketched Garden DSP – and doing a little fussy cutting! Additionally, I pulled the All Aflutter stamp set to make this pretty thank you card! Take a look-see:
And – here’s our sketch!
I started by scoring a 5 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ piece of Basic Black cardstock at 3 1/4″ on the long side.
On the front panel, I used Liquid Glue to adhere a 3 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of polka-dot Artisan Sketched Garden DSP.
I adhered another piece – this one an open-line sketch of flowers – on the back panel.
On a 2 7/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped three butterflies from the All Aflutter stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I also stamped a couple of butterfly trails. I colored the butterflies with the Dark Lemon Lolly, Fresh Freesia and Barely Blush Stampin’ Blends.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the card base.
For the front of the card, I started by creating the pretty floral. I used Stampin’ Blends to color a pretty vase…
and three other sprays of flowers from one of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP papers.
I used Dark Soft Sea Foam (leaves), Light Pool Party (vase) and Light Fresh Freesia, Light Crisp Cantaloupe, Dark Barely Blush and Light Lemon Lolly for the flowers.
Then – deep breath, y’all! – I used my scissors to cut out the colored images! Note: this is a great time to tell you that the July Online Exclusives will introduce our new DETAILED SCISSORS!! Yep – we’ll have awesome, sharp, paper cutting scissors again! Whoo-hoo – I am a happy fussy cutter!!
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the three flower sprays behind the vase, then used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the assembled floral image to the card front.
I tied a bow from a length of white Baker’s Twine and adhered it with a Mini Glue Dot.
On a 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the All Aflutter sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I matted it on a piece of Barely Blush cardstock and adhered it over the bow with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added some Crisp Cantaloupe 2026-2028 In Color Dots and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got a couple of butterflies – colored in Barely Blush and Lemon Lolly – on the front…
…and more of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Well – if you love black-and-white color palettes – adding pops of color here and there – then the new Artisan Sketched Garden DSP is one you’re going to want in your toolbox! Add some butterflies from All Aflutter – if you have the punch that’s bundled with the stamp set – you can even cut them out (NO fussy cutting!).
I hope you like!
