To recreate the thankful garden card, you will need:
Fresh Freesia card base – 8¼” by 5¾” – scored at 4⅛” Gorgeous Grape card – 5” by 3¾” Basic White card – 4½” by 3¼” Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside Scrap Basic White card
I stamped the floral image in the upper left and lower right corners of the Fresh Freesia card front with Fresh Freesia ink and set it one side.
www.crafty-rootes.com – The Thankful Garden stamp set, dies and masks used with a Everyday Arches dies to make a pretty floral birthday card for the Stamp ‘N Blog Hop.
The same image was then stamped on scrap Basic White card with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
Using Blending Brushes and the Thankful Garden Masks I added Fresh Freesia ink to the flowers. The trick is to lightly add it with mask 1, a little more ink with mask 2 to layer up the colour. With mask 3 I used Gorgeous Grape ink to add the detail. The leaves were coloured with Old Olive, lightly with mask 1 and another layer with mask 2. The image was then die cut using the Thankful Garden Dies.

I added ‘pebbles’ with Gray Granite ink and added a little colour with the light Crumb Cake Blends Pen. The ‘sky’ was coloured using a light Pool Party Blends Pen.

The flight of birds was stamped onto the die cut circle with Black ink and I added some directly to the card front using the same ink. The die cut circle was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are being inspired by a colour challenge. I have used the sweet Day to Celebrate stamp set to make an ‘all day your way’ birthday card.
To recreate the ‘all day your way’ card, you will need:
Azure Afternoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” Basic White card – 5⅞” by 2½” Melon Mambo card – 5⅞” by ½” x 2 Calypso Coral card – 4⅛” by ⅞” Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
I randomly stamped the party hat in Melon Mambo Calypso Coral, Cajun Craze, Summer Splash and Azure Afternoon inks onto the 5⅞” by 2½” piece of Basic White card.

The pompoms were added to the top of each hat with the Coastal Cabana ink.

From the strips of Melon Mambo card, I die cut 2 wavy edges using the Ocean Friends Dies. These were glued either side of the stamped panel. This piece was mounted onto the Azure Afternoon card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Calypso Coral card, covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. This was added straddling the stamped panel to the card front.
