Stamping INKspirations Hop…Color Challenge &/or Gratitude

Welcome to the Stamping INKspiration Blog hop. It has been quite a while since I have joined in the fun of this blog hop. Now that I am a little more familiar with my new blog platform and more importantly a little faster in posting, I wanted to play along. The theme this month is a Gratitude Color Challenge and/or CAS (Clean and Simple).

Isn’t this a beautiful picture and color combination? In the Stampin’ Up! universe I would translate the colors to be-Soft Sea Foam, Old Olive, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, and Pecan Pie.

- The burlap made me think about the Lasting Linen background stamp (November 2025 Online Exclusive). The Lasting Linen stamp was inked with Pecan Pie ink and stamped on Pecan Pie CS.
- The flowers, vase, and butterflies are from the Pop-Up Petals bundle (November 2025 Online Exclusive).
- The vase was inked in Gorgeous Grape and stamped on Highland Heather CS.
- The flowers and butterflies were inked in Pecan Pie ink and stamped on Soft Sea Foam CS.
- The flowers are 2 step stamps. The centers were inked in Highland Heather ink and the petals in Gorgeous Grape. The leaves were colored using Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.
- All the images were cut out using the Pop-Up Petals dies (November 2025 Online Exclusive).
- The centers of the butterflies are from the Frosted Iridescent Dots.
- A small Linen Thread bow decorates the vase.
- The sentiment is from the Pop-Up Petals set. I used a Post-It note to cover part of the sentiment when it was inked in Early Espresso ink. The Post-It is removed before you stamp on the card.
- The Highland Heather card base is 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″.

- Basic White CS layer 4″ x 5-1/4″.
- Sentiment is from the Pop-Up Petals stamp set and inked in Early Espresso.
- The flowers were inked in Pecan Pie ink and colored using Highland Heather and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends.
