For this month’s Casually Crafting Blog hop, I have a card sketch using Artistically Inked from Stampin’ Up.
The idea behind this blog hop is to show that you can create beautiful cards even if you don’t have lots of equipment. These beautiful cards are great for crafters who are just starting out, but even avid crafters will love to try these designs.

- Stamp 2 of the small rose type flowers in Shaded Spruce and a set of the three small flowers in Mango melody ink onto an oddment of Basic White card and cut them out.
- Snip the gold foliage piece from the Ephemera set in half. Arrange this around the stamped flower with the other small flowers, adding dimensionals under the small green flowers and sticking the rest down with liquid adhesive. Stamp in some of the dots in Mango Melody ink and add some self adhesive sequins from the Ephemera pack to the design.
