Artistically Inked

It’s Festive Friday again! I really enjoy the challenges that Festive Friday puts out every two weeks. These talented creators choose a holiday as inspiration and then create a list of items to include on your card. This Inspiration list gives you just enough ideas and options that you can easily create a card and play along. Festive Friday challenge #ff0084 is no exception. You can read all the details here. This challenge is based on National Gardening Week in the beginning of June.

​Here is the Inspiration list.

I had been itching to play with the Artistically Inked Bundle so here was my chance. I chose green, flowers and die cuts and got right down to business. 

I love the Expressions in Ink patterned paper that goes with this stamp set. The colors and backgrounds are so unique. I chose the shaded spruce background and matted it on a piece of Shaded Spruce card stock. I created that beautiful large flower by stamping off once with Shaded Spruce ink. The center was stamped with full strength Shaded Spruce. I love the spray of leaves die cut that is part of the bundle. I cut it out in gold foil and then snipped off the leaves I wanted to use. No card is complete without a little bling- at least in my mind. I popped three 2021-2023 In Color Jewels on the card and adhered the layers to a Pale Papaya card base. I’m loving that color!

I hope that you have been inspired to play along with the challenge. You have until Monday, May 24th to enter the challenge.

Everyone who purchases from me will receive a free tutorial bundle – sometimes more than one- as a thank you. Here’s a sneak peek at the current bundle.

Would you like to make cards like these at home? I’d be happy to help in any way that I can.
