The sentiment was added next with Rich Razzleberry ink.

The Blooms were adhered with dimensionals and die cut sprigs were added in between for some texture.

The panel was finally adhered to Rich Razzleberry card base layered with Whisper White card stock with dimensionals.

Good Morning Everybody,

Welcome to this month’s InspireINK blog hop. This time we have a fun colour challenge.

Please be sure to click through all the projects in the hop by clicking on the link below.

I have chosen two lovely retiring stamp sets for my card, Falling Flowers & Friendly Expressions.

A white card layer was first stamped with the large flourish image using Mango Melody ink.

Blackberry Bliss ink was used to stamp the sentiment on to some vellum. I secure this to the card layer by wrapping the ends behind.

Other elements were stamped on to Whisper White card stock. The images were “coloured” by moving the ink with a Wink of Stella Glitter brush. These were then die cut ready to be arranged on the card front.

A combination of Multipurpose glue and dimensionals were used to adhere the elements. Some faceted gems completed the card.
