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 Stamp Set, the Floral Gallery Dies and the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper.  We are all working with a Sketch Challenge this week.  Here is my project:

And here is the Sketch we’re using:The colors in the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper are deep and rich – very much like fall.  The Blackberry Beauty Ephemera Pack has amazing coordinating tags, labels, flowers, branches, frames and birds, too!  Simply punch them out and you’re ready to go.  Add some Gilded Gems and gold trim to complete your creation.

Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere a panel of Blackberry Beauty Specialty DSP to the front of a Blackberry Bliss card base.  Cut two lengths of Gold Trim and add them to a tag from the Ephemera Pack.  Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere an owl from the Ephemera Pack to the label, then adhere the label to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Art Gallery Stamp Set – heat embossed in Gold on a strip of Blackberry Bliss card stock.  Crop it with a label die from the Floral Gallery Dies.  Adhere the sentiment label to the card front with Mini Glue Dots.  Embellish the tag with some Gilded Gems – so sparkly!

The inside is simple.  I left it blank to add a handwritten note.  Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere a strip of Blackberry Beauty Specialty DSP along the bottom of a panel of Basic White card stock.  Then adhere the panel to the inside of the card base.
