Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we have a sketch for inspiration. I have to say, I found this sketch a bit of a challenge and a number of attempts went in the bin before I made a card I was happy with. I used the Cake Fancy stamp set to make a simple thank you card.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the simple thank you card, you will need:
Calypso Coral card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Using the Grid Paper, I lined up the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card so that it was straight.

The first row was stamped in Summer Splash ink using the swirly ‘icing’ image.

The second, and smallest row of hearts was stamped using Calypso Coral ink. Lastly, I stamped the tiny leaves in Lemon Lime Twist ink.

I auditioned various sentiments stamped on various labels in various colours but none of them looked right and I ended up stamping a sentiment from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set along the bottom of the panel.

The stamped panel was then glued to the Basic Black layer and then mounted onto the Calypso Coral card base on Dimensionals.

A trio of Opaque Faceted Gems finished the card.
