Stampin' Up! Wild & Sweet Birthday Card for the Thursday Happy Inkin' Blog Hop



Welcome to the Happy Inkin' Thursday blog hop. You're in for a treat if you have never visited before. It's a weekly challenge and this week we have a sketch challenge. Here is what I created for it...

and here is our sketch...

My card base is Basic White Cardstock. I cut a piece of Sun Prints DSP to 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and adhered it to the base with liquid glue. 

Next I cut a piece of Gray Granite Cardstock and adhered it crookedly to the front. I used a Stitched Rectangle Die to cut a piece of Shimmery White cardstock for the art panel. The image is from the Wild & Sweet Stamp Set. I colored the blue using my water painter and Balmy Blue ink. I colored the tree with Stampin' Blends: Light and Dark Crumb Cake, Light and Dark So Saffron, and Dark Old Olive. I adhered it to the card front with liquid glue. The ribbon is Gray Granite 1/4" Shimmer Ribbon.

Then I stamped the "Wishing You So Much Happiness" from the On the Horizon Stamp Set (retiring 6/30/22) using VersaMark ink and heat embossing it with Black Basics Embossing Powder. I cut the sentiment out with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I'm entering my card in the Path of Positivity Challenge #102 and the Anything Goes Challenge at Through the Craft Room Door.
