Hi Stampers, Today we have a combined hop with our friends in Canada. When we combined hops we have our choice of either a sketch or color challenge. You can even combine them and do both. I decided to do just the sketch challenge because I wanted to color in my floral image and needed to work with the color pencils that I had. My sketch uses the new limited edition stamp set and dies called “Blended Season”. It will be available on August 1 through August 31 or while supply lasts.
Here is the sketch:
Stampin’ Up! Blended Season:
Here is the recipe:
Card base: Whisper White 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4
Mat: Flirty Flamingo 5-1/4 x 4

Art piece: Whisper White die cut from the Blended Season Die
The Details:
- Adhere your DSP to the Flirty Flamingo mat
- Adhere your Whisper White die cut art piece to the middle of the DSP stack
