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 Tea Boutique Suite that includes the Cup of Tea Stamp Set, Tea Cup Dies, Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper and the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes.  We are working with a Sketch Challenge this week.  Here is my card:

And here is the sketch we are using:

The Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes feature the new In Colors and have designs that coordinate with the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper.  The card base I chose is a Starry Sky pattern.  Add a wide strip of DSP in the flowers and envelopes pattern from the Tea Boutique DSP across the bottom part of the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then cut a second strip of  DSP in an Orchid Oasis pattern to adhere in the lower left – again with Glue.

Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut a 2-1/8″ circle from a Crushed Curry pattern of Butterfly Wishes DSP.  Use Liquid Glue to adhere it to a Basic White scalloped circle mat cut with the Layering Circles Dies.

Use Sweet Sorbet ink to stamp the striped tea cup from the Cup of Tea Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White card stock. Crop the design with the coordinating Tea Cup Dies. Adhere the tea cup to the layered circle with Liquid Glue.

Use Starry Sky ink to stamp the sentiment from the Speedy Recovery Stamp Set on a strip of Basic White card stock.  Crop the sentiment with a banner die from the Stylish Shapes die set.  Adhere the sentiment to the layered circle with Liquid Glue.  Then adhere the layered art piece to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Add some Starry Sky embellishments from the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots.  Tie a small triple-loop bow from the 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine in Starry Sky.  Adhere to the banner end with a Mini Glue Dot.

Stamp the sentiment from the Speedy Recovery Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White card stock with Starry Sky ink.  Use Liquid Glue to adhere a thin strip of DSP along the bottom edge of the panel before adhering it to the inside of the card base.
