Beautiful Gallery Simple Card for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

The time is flying by, I can’t believe this is my 3rd week already with this awesome Krew. This week’s challenge is a simple design. Here is what the sketch looks like:

I still have my Beautiful Gallery Suite out on my craft desk. I have been having so much fun playing with it this week. If you saw my previous blog post, I made a card with the green floral pattern from the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper. This time, the blue floral pattern was calling my name!!

I just love this combination of Cloud Cover and Secret Sea together. The cardbase is Secret Sea. The next panel is a Cloud Cover pattern which is actually the back side of the blue rose pattern. This Cloud Cover pattern is cut at 5-3/8 x 4-1/8″. Next, I matted the blue rose pattern (cut at 4-1/2″x 3-1/4″) onto a panel of Secret Sea (cut at 4-3/4 x 3-1/2″). This combined panel was adhered with dimensionals.

For the sentiment, I used More Messages Bundle. This stamp set is actually several sentiments on one stamp. I inked the area where the “Lots of Love” sentiment was and stamped it on Cloud Cover cardstock. I matched it up the corresponding die to cut it out. I adhered this with dimensionals cut in half (or you can use the mini-dimensionals). The last touch for the front of the card was adding 3 In-Color Flat Pearls in Cloud Cover.

For the inside, I decided to adhere a panel of the same Cloud Cover DSP. It is light enough that a message can be written on it with a darker ink. I decorate this panel with a small strip of the rose side of the DSP. For the sentiment, I used the same More Messages stamp set. I carefully inked around the “Always Here For You” in Secret Sea ink. It was at the bottom of the stamp, so that helped!

This was a fun card to make, simple but elegant! Using the DSP inside the card is new for me, I liked the added “fanciness” of it.
