Artistically Inked Birthday--#tgifc320

For this week's TGIF Challenges sketch, I used the Expressions in Ink suite of products.  I love how easy the stamp set and dies are to use for creating beautiful cards. Initially, I was going to use just the three flowers as the panels on my card, but the gold frames in the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack (#155465) just added that little something, something:


The background on the card is a piece of Pale Papaya patterned paper from the 2021-2023 In Color designer series paper pack (#155641).  The flowers and leaves were stamped and die cut using the Artistically Inked Bundle [#155456, includes the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) and Artistic Dies (#155371) at 10% off].  Ink pad colors used:  Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and Misty Moonlight.

To adhere the gold frames, I placed a glue dot on each side of the largest frame to keep the frames in place as I arranged the floral elements.  The glue dots and Stampin' Dimensionals adhering these elements are also helping to hold the frames in place.

The greeting was stamped in Soft Succulent and die cut using a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820).  The width was narrowed by putting the piece through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine twice.   A few sequins from the ephemera pack and a bow of Soft Succulent open weave ribbon (#155780) complete the card.

Lots of inspiration for your projects can be found over at the TGF Challenges Blog here.


Have a wonderful Father's Day weekend!
