Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend and the month is just about over. I know February is a short month, but this one seemed extra short this year.

I have a Quick and Easy card for you today using the Stampin’ Up! Approaching Perfection Cling Stamp Set along with the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card for today.

I played along with As You See It Challenge #244. I feel the most cozy with blues and greens.

I started by adhering a panel of Flower & Field DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to a Just Jade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered another panel of the Flower & Field DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Approaching Perfection stamp set in Just Jade Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Approaching Perfection stamp set in Just Jade Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the candle image from the Approaching Perfection stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink along the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the candle image from the Approaching Perfection stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink along the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of Flower & Field DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
