Hello everyone. For today, I combined a few techniques to make a lovely friendship card. I am sharing one way to add inky touches to complement your stamps. This card features the cutest little skunk with a flower. I share steps to build this card scene using simple techniques that can be easily combined to create a single card. The featured Unity Stamp Company stamp and sentiment are from May 2026 Kit Of The Month stamps, Odds, Ends & Adorable. Also, the KOMpanion kits are sold individually as one-time purchases. The skunk stamp is from the KOMpanion kit Sorry Stuff Stinks, and the sentiment is from Lilac Poise. To create this card, I used rubber stamping, stenciling, ink blending, Copic marker coloring, dry embossing and die-cutting. I included the project steps and supplies below.

To begin, here is a look at the finished card.
Sentiment: Your friendship is the kind that always stays in bloom.

Additionally, here is a summary of the steps.

Helpful Tips:

1. Prepare a vertical scored white card base 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.

2. Stamp the skunk & flower from Sorry Stuff Stinks onto a sheet of white cardstock using marker-friendly ink. Also, stamp and die-cut the sentiment on white from Lilac Poise and sentiment dies.

3. Color the skunk and flower in shades of gray, black and red. I used Copic markers, but use what you have for coloring.

4. Ink blend the scene using a cloud stencil and blending brushes.

5. Die-cut the skunk panel using a medium rectangle die from Zig Zag Rectangles.

6. Trim a white cardstock panel 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", then dry emboss it using a 3D embossing folder.

7. Adhere the embossed panel over the card base.

8. Adhere the skunk panel and the sentiment label over the card.

Here is a peek at the first part of the card setup.
