Stampin' Up! True Love Messages for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop. This week we have a color challenge. If this is your first time here, welcome! If not, welcome back!!

My card...

and here is our challenge...

I chose Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Mossy Meadow and Pool Party for my colors. Let me show you again with it positioned to go into an A2 envelope...
This is another "bridge" fun fold like I did on Monday. This time I added mats behind the Designer Series Paper. I really like that effect. I sponged the DSP with Pool Party Ink and colored the center squares with my Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blends. 

From another pattern in the True Love DSP I fussy cut a flower and colored the leaves with my Light Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends. I colored the flower with my Light Petal Pink and Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends. I was inspired by the Inspired By IB169 Spring is Sweet Photo. See that all pink frosting flower?

I did the "bridge" differently this time by making it four layers. I stamped the sentiment on the bridge with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and heat embossed it with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder. Then I used the Banners Pick a Punch for the ends on the Basic Black sentiment mat.

The sentiments are from the Many Messages Stamp Set and are die cut with the matching Messages Die. This can be purchased as a bundle and you will save 10%.

Here's another view for you...

You have not seen the last of this fold...trust me! It's such a great way to use up the DSP (patterned paper) that we all tend to hoard!! I'm entering my card in Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper April 2021 Challenge.
