Last Chance Products Sale starts today: SALES PERIOD Starts: 1 June 2021 at 1:00 PM (MT) Ends: 30 June 2021 at 11:59 PM (MT) My share for today is another 'Happy Birthday' Card that I designed using the Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper, Artistically Inked Stamp Set, Artistic Dies, Expressions In Ink Ephemera Pack and more. Let's take a look: I just couldn't get my Card pictures as light as I would like too today. We have some awful dark looking clouds hanging over our house; but, no rain yet! The Expressions In Ink Suite is so colorful and creates some awesome 'WOW' Cards. The Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper is just packed full of Bold and Bright colors. Pictured above is my Card from yesterdays blog post. My apologies...I missed adding a green leaf on the bottom of my Flowers so I'm sharing the Card with you again where I adhered the green leaf behind the White die cut. Oopsy!!! For today's Card, I used the Artistically Inked Stamp Set and stamped my Flowers and Leaves and then die cut them out. I experimented with full strength ink and then stamping off once for a lighter image. I used the coordinating inks from the Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper; Polished Pink, Magenta Madness and Pale Papaya. So, you get a pretty image with both full strength Ink and stamped off once ink. My Card Base is Magenta Madness Cardstock. Using the Artistic Dies, I die cut out the Large Flowers Die from Whisper White Cardstock. For this Card, I chose to use the full strength Magenta Madness for my Flowers except the bottom Flower is full strength Pale Papaya Ink. I stamped four of my Leaves and my 'Happy Birthday' in full strength Pear Pizzazz Ink. Pictured above is a close up of the bunch of Flowers and Leaves. I also stamped the Dotted Stamp in Magenta Madness Ink on the Card Base randomly around the Bunch of Flowers. I adhered four of the Adhesive Backed Sequins from the Expressions In Ink Ephemera Pack to the center of my Large Flower and six randomly around the Bunch of Flowers.

Amazing what you can do with paper scraps... especially when they are paper scraps are from paper as pretty as the Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper. Each strip measures about 1" in width. I cut out the leaf in Gold Foil using the Artistic Dies. TIP: The leaf from the Artistic Dies is thin and delicate, so I use my Stampin' Up! Silicone Craft Sheet with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the leaf to the card. I poured a little glue on the sheet and use a small piece of sponge to pick up the glue and put on the back of the leaf.
