Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are creating projects inspired by a sketch. I have made my card using the pretty Pop-Up Petals stamp set and co-ordinating dies.

Bubble Bath card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Lost Lagoon – 5” by 3⅜”

Velvet Meadow dsp – 2⅞” by ½”
Bubble Bath – 3⅜” by 2⅛”

Scrap Basic White and Artisan Sketched Garden dsp

I ran one of the largest panels of Basic White card through the Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder. The embossed panel was then trimmed down to 4⅞” by 3 ¼” before it was adhered to the Lost lagoon layer. The whole piece was glued to the Bubble Bath card front.

I mounted the sentiment, from the Reason to Celebrate stamp set onto my Stamp Positioner plate, inked it up with the Black Hybrid ink and stamped it onto the die cut label. I used the positioner in case I needed to stamp it multiple times. I then set it aside to dry which took quite a while.

Using the Barely Blush Blends Pens, I coloured in the larger flowers on my chosen piece of Artisan Sketched Garden dsp. The soft pastel colour looks dramatic against the black background.

The leaves were then coloured with the Soft Sea Foam Blends Pens. I left the tiny flowers white.
