Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!  Please be sure to visit everyone’s blog  to see the great projects they are sharing with you this week.  My project today features the Art Gallery Bundle, the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper from the Fine Art Floral Suite in the new January-June 2021 Mini Catalog.  We are all working with a Sketch Challenge this week.  Here is my project:

And here is the sketch we are using this week:

Add texture to a brush-stroked looking panel of Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.  Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere it to a panel of Pool Party card stock.  This becomes your art piece.

The large floral die from the Floral Gallery Dies coordinates with at least one of the flowers in the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper.  Search it out and crop for the main image.  Use Old Olive Ink to stamp the leaf image from the Art Gallery stamp set on a panel of Pear Pizzazz card stock, then cut it out with the coordinating die.  Clip the leaves off the branch with your Paper Snips.

Adhere the flower to the art piece with Dimensionals.  Tuck the leaves under the flower, adhering with Mini Glue Dots.  Use Old Olive Ink to stamp the sentiment on a strip of Basic White Thick card stock.  Crop with a die from the Floral Gallery Dies, then adhere over the flower with Liquid Glue.

Use a panel of Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper to cover the front of a Basic White card base – adhering with Liquid Glue.  Then adhere the art piece to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Embellish with a few Pearl Basic Jewels.

For the inside, adhere a panel of Basic White card stock to a mat of Pool Party card stock.  Then adhere the layer to the inside of the card base with Glue.  Use Paper Snips to fussy-cut a small flower from the DSP.  Adhere to the inside panel with Glue Dots.
