Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. How was everyone’s weekend? Did you get a lot of things done that you’ve been putting off?
For today’s card I used a couple items from Sale-A-Bration that will be gone after tomorrow. Here’s my card for today.
My design is from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #335. Here is their sketch.
I started by embossing a Smoky Slate card front using the Stone 3D Embossing Folder. This folder comes as a bundle with the Power of Hope stamp set and is available as a Sale-A-Bration item with a qualifying order. I adhered a panel of Night of Navy cardstock to the edge of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I colored a small panel of the Sale-A-Bration Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper using my Light Night of Navy, Old Olive and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut a flower out using the 2nd largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered the artwork to the embossed card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, letting it over hang a little and trimmed off the edge using my Paper Snips. Using the next size smaller circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies, I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock and embossed it using the Layering Leaves 3D Embossing Folder. I added some Silver Metallic Thread to the back of the stitched circle and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the butterfly image from the Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock and colored it in using my Light Daffodil Delight and Light Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the butterfly image out using the Nature Thoughts Dies, I also cut the tiny butterfly out from the Nature Thoughts Dies from a Silver Foil Sheet. I adhered the butterfly to the embossed circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the top portion of the sentiment from the Positive Thoughts stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a strip of Whisper White cardstock. I made the sentiment into a banner using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot. I adhered the silver foil butterfly below the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I stamped the bottom portion of the sentiment from the Positive Thoughts stamp set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the decorative image from the Positive Thoughts stamp set on the top and bottom of the panel in Night of Navy Ink. I adhered 2 strips of the Flowering Foils Specialty DSP to either side of the panel using Snail. I adhered 2 foil butterflies by the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Smoky Slate mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope . I stamped the butterfly image from the Positive Thoughts stamp set across the bottom of the envelope front in Night of Navy Ink. I adhered a panel of the Flowering Foils Specialty DSP to the envelope flap which I had colored using my Light Night of Navy, Old Olive and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Don’t forget, tomorrow is the last day to earn FREE Sale-A-Bration items. If there is anything you wanted, don’t wait any longer because they will be gone tomorrow night. Happy Stamping!!
