A card inspired by a sketch made using the Darling Dinos and Hugs for love stamp sets from Stampin' Up!

Darling Dinos card – Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a sketch. I have made my card using the adorable Darling Dinos stamp set.

 

Colours used in the darling dinos card are:

 

To recreate the darling dinos card, you will need:

Lemon Lolly card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pool Party card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Granny Apple Green card – 4⅛” by 1½”
Basic White card – 1¼” by 1¼” x 3
Lemon Lolly card – 2” by ⅝”

 

One of the 5½” by 3¾” panels of Basic White card was embossed using the Starstruck Embossing Folder and glued the embossed panel to the layer of Pool Party card. The whole piece was glued to the Lemon Lolly card front.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the images from the darling Dinos onto the three small squares of Basic White card.

I used the following Blends Pens to colour in the images – Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake. The squares were then adhered to the strip of Granny Apple Green card. The strip was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Hugs For Love stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the small piece of Lemon Lolly card. I flagged the end and added it to the card front.
