Stampin' Up! Tasteful Touches Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Hi Stampers, today we have a sketch challenge for our hop. I was so excited to use some of the NEW products from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! annual catalog that goes live on June 3rd. My share for today is using the beautiful suite of products called Tasteful Touches. The papers are outstanding and all the coordinating pieces were so fun to incorporate into this card.

The sketch:

The flowers:

Color in the flowers with your Petal Pink Stampin Blends
Fussy cut the three flowers with your paper snips
Die cut the leaves using the die from the Forever Flourishing set from Old Olive card stock
Smudge the edges of the die cut leaves with Old Olive Ink and a Sponge Dauber for added detail

Putting the card together:

Adhere the sentiment panel to the back of the inside of the card
Adhere both of your 5-1/8 x 1-7/8 DSP panels to the Basic Gray Mats
Attach one of the matted panels to the front of the card and one gets attached on the backside of the inside front (they are back to back)
Adhere the center flower with Dimensionals to the small door front so the flowers cover the hard edge of the cut on the front of the card.
Adhere the left and right flowers next to the center flower with glue dots
Tuck in your die cut greenery among the flowers
Adhere three of the leaves from the In Good Taste Elements to the center flower

Finishing touches:

Add a double Linen Thread bow to the left of the center flower
Adhere some Champagne Rhinestones here and there onto he front of the card for added sparkle and you are done!
