Stampin' Up! Fresh Hello for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to another HITBH! If you came from Sue Prather's site, I'm glad you are continuing the hop. If you haven't then I hope you'll continue to hop using my links below. No matter what, I'm glad you're here. Today we have a sketch challenge and here is what I created for it...

and here is our sketch...

I was inspired by two of the colors at The Card Concept Challenge #166...Black and Pale Papaya. I consider my card CAS.

My card base is thick Basic White (5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"). I cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock with the second from largest Stitched Rectangles Die using the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine. I adhered the rectangle to the card front with liquid glue.

I was inspired by Gez Carpenter to semi-create my own background. So, I took a pattern from the new Fresh Hello DSP and stamped images on it from the new Fresh Hello Stamp Set. I then cut a piece with the fourth from largest die from the Stitched Rectangles.

The sentiment is from the new Crane of Fortune Stamp Set. The stamp reads "Wishing a lifetime of Happiness and a World full of Love" but I only wanted a teeny tiny sentiment on the front so that I didn't cover up my stamping on the DSP too much. Therefore, I taped off the words except for "wishing a lifetime" and inked it up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Then I removed the tape and stamped on a scrap of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out with a die from the Ornate Frames Dies. I sponged around the edge with the black ink and adhered it to the DSP with mini Dimensionals. I adhered the art panel to the black mat with liquid glue.

For the inside, I taped off the "Wishing a lifetime" and inked the remainder of the sentiment. Once again, I removed the tape and stamped directly on the inside of the base. I added three black Classic Matte Dots and stamped the leafy image from the Fresh Hello set.

I cut a 1/4" strip of the DSP and adhered it to the bottom. It was really fun creating this and I'm entering it also at Mod Squad Handmade Background/Focal, NBUS #34 as this is the first time I have used the new products, at Double Trouble #100 Challenge but I'm only playing with Thing 1 and Thing 2 and at Bitten By the Bug 2.

In Summary: 1. Create at least two or more layers.

2. Use at least one die.

Thing 2: Double Dare

says, "Bitten by the Bug 2 is a challenge that usually requires the inclusion of a cut item from a Cricut machine, however, we CUT a Die'al with them. For this challenge only, our partner is accepting the use of cut items from punches, dies, and any cutting machine, but NO fussy-cutting! Enter the Bitten by The Bug 2 Challenge for an extra chance in our usual random draw prize."
