Artistically Inked Alternative for #worldcardmakingday

Stampin’ Up’s World Card Making Event was Saturday, October 1, and it was fantastic! At the end of the event, a surprise announcement was made: FREE SHIPPING on Tuesday, October 4th! That’s today, and lasts only 24 hours, so get those orders in to take advantage of it!

The first card in the event was created with the Cottage Rose Bundle, demonstrated by CEO Sara and her mom, Shelli. I’m regretting not having the bundle to make this exact card, but I used some of the same supplies to create a similar card using the Artistically Inked Stamp Set and Artistic Dies.

I began by stamping a flower, from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set, in two colors of ink on Basic White Cardstock. I used So Saffron for one flower, and Flirty Flamingo in full strength, and “stamped off,” for the other two flowers.

Artistically Inked

After stamping the flowers, I stamped three pairs of leaves in Crumb Cake Ink on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4,” and one pair that I cut using its Artistic Die. I also cut the flowers, using their Artistic Die, and placed them on Dimensionals.

Prior to attaching the flowers, I used the large Artistic Die to cut Crumb Cake Cardstock, and glued it to the layer, partially covering the stamped leaves.

For a touch of sparkle, I added three Iridescent Rhinestones.

Did you notice there isn’t a sentiment? It’s because of the TGIF challenge, “what would you do…..without a sentiment?” Without a sentiment, it makes a nice, multi-purpose card.
