The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Stamp Set, Summer Shadow Dies, Thanks and Hello Embossing Folder, Fern 3D Embossing Folder, and Hues of Happiness DSP.

One of my challenges for today is the Alphabet Challenge — this week it is the letter E- Embossing dry/wet.  I have chosen dry.

My card design is inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches challenge for this week.  It is a simple design, but often the simplest design can end up being the most complicated.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White card stock using a Fern 3D Embossing Folder.   I also embossed a strip of Blackberry Bliss card stock using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.  I cut a second strip from the Hues of Happiness DSP that is paired with the Blackberry Bliss strip to create a mat for my flowers.

Flowers are cropped using dies from the Summer Shadow Dies, Blackberry Bliss card stock, and Hues of Happiness DSP. You can see from the photo how I created the flowers with opposite colors but still the same colors.  The leaves are some leftover from other cards.

I also embossed a strip of Hues of Happiness DSP with the Hello die from the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folders.  This strip becomes the greeting as it has the word Hello on the embossed strip.  I colored Pearl Basic Jewels using a Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Marker.

You can see how each element is added to the card to create the way the card looks.

A panel of Basic White card stock gets matted onto a panel of Blackberry Bliss card stock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A flower that matches the flowers on the card front is added to the right lower corner of the card.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of Hues of Happiness DSP adhered to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!
