Stampin Up! Heartland Birthday Card for Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop


Welcome to our monthly Inkin' Krew Blog Hop.   Our very talented team is doing a blog hop featuring Stampin’ Up! products. This month we are all creating projects with a “birthday” theme and I’m featuring the Heartland stamp set from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog my birthday card. This will be an addition to the set I created last week.

 


My card base is Garden Green card stock. I stamped the images from my Heartland Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock. I stamped the greeting with a stamp from the Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set. I used my Garden Green watercolor pencil and Blender Pen to color the trees and grass. I colored the dog with my Light Crumb Cake Blends. Then I ran the panel through my embossing machine using the Pinewood Planks embossing folder. That folder has retired but I just thought it went great with the barn.

On the inside I stamped another image from the Heartland set. The sentiment is a SU wood mount stamp from 2001, which was in Carole's stash.


The image is stamped in Basic Gray and the sentiment in Garden Green.

I am entering my card in three challenges:
