Stippled Blossoms with HSS179 and PPA192

Well if you checked out my card in a box post from this morning, you read that yesterday was not a good day, but today has been much better!  I provide childcare in my home and well nap time can sometimes be good and sometimes not so good.  That was the root of yesterday's disaster.  Usually during nap time, I head to my craft room and play around with a card challenge or work on an upcoming project for my stamp club.  Well today went so well, that I was able to knock out not one but two card challenges, yep you heard that right...TWO cards!!!

This card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments! and Pals Paper Arts!  HHS has a great color challenge while PPA has a fun sketch challenge.  You should head over to both and check out the details.

I broke out Stippled Blossoms as my choice of stamp set.  Not sure why I don't use this set more.  It is a really lovely stamp set.  The colors worked perfect for how I wanted my card to look.

I even dressed up the inside with some layered blossoms too.

Flower Shop 3 in a Row Technique


Good morning bloggers and thanks for joining me here with Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.

Today we are sharing a technique called "3 in a row stamping".  Let me just say this is so simple, yet so fun to do.  I knew I wanted to use a flower set of some kind and decided on what better set than, "Flower Shop".  Click HERE to watch a great video tutorial on how this is done, by ClubScrap.

 
The hardest part was choosing the color and DSP I wanted to use, but after about 10 minutes of back and forth, I decided to have a cup of coffee... I decided to go with Afternoon Picnic DSP and Wisteria Wonder as my  color choice!!!  See the coffee helped! For my sentiment I used Best of Greetings stamp set.
Again, I used the same technique inside only with crushed curry this time.  I added a short strip of embossed very vanilla across the bottom with a piece of the new natural chevron ribbon under that.
 
Card Supplies:
Stamp Sets:  Best of Greetings, Flower Shop
Cardstock:  very vanilla, Wisteria Wonder
DSP:  Afternoon Picnic
Ink:  pear pizzazz, crushed curry and wisteria wonder
Misc.:  honeycomb embossing folder, apothecary accents framelit set, natural chevron ribbon, subtle candy dots.
 
All these products can be purchased HERE!
 
Thanks again for stopping by.  Don't forget to leave some "love" before heading over to the main blog of SSINKspiraiton, to see what the other design team members have created with this fun technique.  I hope I have INKspired you to go create!
