Stampin' Up! Blossom In Bloom Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Hi Stampers, Today we have a color challenge of Mango Melody, So Saffron and Old Olive. I wanted to use the new Blossom In Bloom stamp set for my share today and had so much fun getting a new stamp set inky. This set will be available to order on June 3rd, only a few days from now, YIPPEE. I had fun making a tri-fold gate card and now want to make this card several more times trying the design in different colors.

The color challenge:

Stampin’ Up! Blossoms In Bloom:

Card recipe:

Card base: Whisper White 2-5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4

Mat: Mango Melody 2- 5-1/4 x 2

Art piece: Whisper White 5-1/8 x 3-3/4

Sentiment: Whisper White 3- 5 1/4 x 4

Inside panel: Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4

The details:

Stamp your flower image onto your 5-1/8 x 3-3/4 Whisper White art piece as follows:
Large floral image is stamped in Mango Melody Ink
Small flowers are stamped in So Saffron Ink
Flower centers: large flowers are stamped in Black Ink and the small flowers are stamped in Mango Melody
All leaves are stamped in Old Olive (some are second generation stamping to give a lighter hue)
Cut your art piece in half so that is measures 5-1/8 x 1-78
Mat your two art piece strips onto the Mango Melody mats

The sentiment:

Stamp your sentiment using the the saying from Blossoms In Bloom stamp set in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink
I stamped the sentiment once in the middle of the paper and then filled in on each side of the happy birthday to make sure is was centered
After I stamped the sentiment I stacked two more layers of Whisper White card stock underneath to give it more strength and dimension

Putting the card together:

Score your 2 cards (that measure 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 folded dimensions) and score each end at at 2-1/8
Adhere both card backs together with the folded edges on each end
Mount your matted art piece to each of the small folded ends of the card

Adhere your sentiment to the top art piece making sure the glue is only on the top part of the sentiment strip so your card opens up
Decorate the inside panel (Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4) with more flower and leaves
Add a double Linen Thread bow to the left of the sentiment panel
Adhere and few Rhinestones and your card is complete
