Hugs Abloom Global Design Project Challenge #504

I created a birthday card for the Global Design Project Challenge #504.  I used the new 2025-2027 In Colors and the Paper Pumpkin Hugs Abloom dies (sold out).

I began with an A2 Secret Sea card base, then trimmed a retired gingham mat measuring 4" x 5.25".  I ink blended three rectangles on a sheet of white card stock, then doodled lines and dots around each one.

I stamped "happy birthday" from the Blooming Phrases stamp set between the blocks in Secret Sea ink.

I cut the "hugs" from the Hugs Abloom die set in Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger, and Strawberry Slush card stock.  I cut the leaf in Secret Sea card stock and the flower in Cloud Cover card stock, both from the same Hugs Abloom die set.  

The flower is raised using a dimensional.  

Have you worked with the new In Colors?  They are beautiful and work will with each other and our core colors!
