Stampin'' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon - Sketch Saturday

Hello and welcome to my blog!  This card was created for Sketch Saturday's Challenge #743. Today is the first day of this challenge, you have two weeks to play along. 

The twist that goes along with this sketch is to use your favorite stamp.  I would not know where to begin with that twist…I have SO many ‘favorite’ stamps!  So I used a few of my current favorite things on this card. 

Butterflies are one of my favorite things and until now I haven’t had a chance to use my new Paper Butterflies from Stampin’ Up!  These butterflies come in white so you can color them whatever color you wish.  On the front of my card I used a Blending Brush to add a bit of Highland Heather to the butterfly.  (Purple is another favorite!)

On the inside I used one of the butterflies as a stencil, again using the Blending Brush to add a touch of Highland Heather, this time around the butterfly.  Bonus, now I have another slightly purple butterfly ready to use on another project!

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  Take a look at the other cards created for this sketch challenge from Sketch Saturday, then play along and share your creation with us! 

Happy Stamping!

Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagons ~ Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

 Hey Stampers & Friends! Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop.  I’m excited to be part of this fun & creative group sharing stamping ideas with you today!

Our color challenge and photo inspiration for this month can be found in the photo below.  This might be my favorite ever, it’s definitely my favorite so far this year! (Lol) The flowers and colors just give off happy vibes!  This color scheme has some of my favorite colors in it, and I love how they look together.

I was inspired by both the photo and the colors above for today’s card.  I was also inspired by the shaker card on p. 12 of the 2024 January - April Mini Catalog.  I have been wanting to make that card since the first time I saw it. with a few changes, it was perfect for this challenge!

Instead of using Designer Series Paper (which I love), the background was created by using Blending Brushes to blend ALL of the challenge colors on the Basic White card base.  Be sure to stamp the sentiment before using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder on the front panel.  To apply the sequins to the front of the card, just add a tiny dab of Liquid Glue, then place a sequin on it.

Happy Stamping!
