Create with Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop!

Welcome to a Saturday Blog Hop at Create with Connie & Mary. Our theme this week is Hawaiian or Luau and I had so much fun creating this card for you:

 

I picked out the Basket Of Blooms stamp set and because this stamp set does not include sentiments, I added the sentiment from Celebrate Sunflowers. The larger flowers coordinate with the Small Bloom Punch and I hand-cut the remainder of my layers.

Card Recipe:

• Card Base: Melon Mambo Cardstock 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
• Layer #2: Granny Apple Green Cardstock 5-1/4″ x 4″. Glue to card base.
• Layer #3: Whisper White Cardstock 5″ x 3-3/4″. Add a wash of color to the background using So Saffron Ink and a Water Painter. Allow to dry. Stamp the following:
• Basket image using Early Espresso Ink and use a Blender Pen to color with the inked lines.
• Stamp the branch image inside the basket a few times with Early Espresso Ink. Carefully add Granny Apple Green Ink to each branch by tapping the ink color on with a Blender Pen.
• Stamp the sentiment using Early Espresso Ink below the basket.
• Glue white layer to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Stamp the fern image using Early Espresso Ink on Whisper White Cardstock and color by tapping Granny Apple Green Ink with a Blender Pen. Hand-cut and glue to the basket to the right.
• Stamp two of the large flowers with Early Espresso Ink on Whisper White Cardstock and color by tapping Melon Mambo Ink with a Blender Pen. Cut out with the Small Blooms Punch and glue the flowers in place using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add Champagne Rhinestone Jewels to each flower.
• Stamp three of the small flower with Early Espresso Ink on Whisper White Cardstock and color by tapping Mango Melody Ink with a Blender Pen. Hand-cut the flowers and glue in place using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
