Stampin’ Up! Pretty in Pink Bold Bouquet Mother’s Day Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and that means it is time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’m looking forward to seeing the projects that my team members have created for the Hop this week…I know their projects will be beautiful as always! If you are hopping over from Terry Lynn’s blog…welcome and thanks for stopping by!

My card today was created using the Bold Bouquet Bundle and the Delightfully Eclectic 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. I also used two different stamp sets for the sentiments – The Best Family Ever Stamp Set and the Share a Milkshake Stamp Set.

We have a sketch challenge for today’s hop. Here is the sketch.

I used my new two favorite pinks for this Mother’s Day card – Berry Burst and Bubble Bath. A panel in Basic White measuring 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ was embossed using the cross-hatch embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders set. This panel was then adhered to the card front and centered from top to bottom and left to right. A smaller panel using the Bubble Bath and White striped paper from the Delightfully Electic Designer Series Paper was adhered to a mat in Berry Burst. I wrapped a length of Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon around the left side of this panel and then the panel was adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The panel was offset to the right of the card front to follow our sketch challenge.

I stamped the large flower image from the Bold Bouquet Stamp Set several times onto Basic White cardstock. I first inked up the flower stamp in Bubble Bath ink and then used a sponge dauber to dab Berry Burst ink around the perimeter of the flower stamp. I used a separate sponge dauber to lightly blend in some Crushed Curry ink on each of the flowers just to give a different pop of color. A Berry Burst Stampin’ Blend was used to dot in the flower stamens. I also stamped four leaf sprigs in Lost Lagoon ink onto white cardstock and I used the coordinating dies from the Bold Bouquet Dies set to cut out these images. The images were arranged onto the center left of the card front and adhered down with liquid glue.

The “Mom” sentiment was stamped onto a piece of white cardstock in Berry Burst ink and I used the second to smallest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out the sentiment. The sentiment was adhered to the center of the flower arrangement using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon bow to the lower left of the arranged flowers. A Berry Burst Stampin’ Blend was used to color in multiple Rhinestone Basic Jeweles and these were added around the card front.

For the inside panel I stamped the sentiment “Life is Sweeter with You” in Berry Burst ink. This sentiment came from the Share a Milkshake Stamp Set. I also stamped the large flower image from the Bold Bouquet Stamp Set onto the lower left of the panel – inking the stamp in Bubble Bath and then using a sponge dauber to add some Berry Burst and Crushed Curry ink around the perimeter. I also stamped the smallest leaf sprig in Lost Lagoon aound the flower. The panel was adhered to a Bubble Bath mat and then adhered to the inside of the card.

For the envelope I repeated stamping of the large flower image and leaf sprigs onto the envelope front. A piece of coordinating designer series paper was added to the envelope flap, and I trimmed the excess paper away from the flap to finish up the envelope.
