Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week.
For the card I made for today I went out of my comfort zone. I was actually pretty pleased with how it turned out. I’m not really into chickens or farming, but I said I was going to feature a different Sal-A-Bration item each day this week. We’re getting down to the wire for getting free items. Here is my card for today.
After I was done, I saw the Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge #311 and thought that this might qualify. Here is their sketch.
I started with a piece of the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (FREE Sale-A-Bration item) and cut it into 1″ strips. I adhered the DSP onto a Poppy Parade card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue so that I would have a little wiggle room to line the strips up.
I stamped the rooster from the Stampin’ Up Home To Roost Stamp Set (FREE Sale-A-Bration item) in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a small piece of Whisper White cardstock. I colored the rooster in using my Cajun Craze, Mango Melody, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. Then using my Big Shot, I cut the image out with my Layering Ovals Framelits Dies. I also cut out the scalloped oval that was just a little larger in Poppy Parade cardstock. I adhered the artwork to the scalloped oval using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then to my card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up Colorful Seasons Stamp Set in Poppy Parade Ink. I stamped the flowers 4 times without reinking to get the Ombre effect. I cut the flowers out with my Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies and my Big Shot. I adhered the flowers to the right side of the artwork using Glue Dots and Mini Stampn’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Home To Roost stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a strip of Vellum paper and adhered it over the artwork using Glue Dots. I adhered the card front to a Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On the inside I stamped the grassy image from the Home To Roost stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamping off twice, to a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink above the grass. I adhered some more of the flowers I had stamped and cut out using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the grass and the rooster from the Home To Roost stamp set on the front of the envelope in Old Olive and Tuxedo Black Memento Inks. I adhered a piece of the Botanical Butterfly DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. This card used 2 of the FREE Sale-A-Bration items that are available with a $50 order. Sale-A-Bration ends on Sunday, so don’t delay. Happy Stamping!!

Product List
I started with a Lemon Lime Twist card front and adhered a piece of the beautiful Sale-A-Bration Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper to it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Butterfly Gala Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom portion of the cardstock. I then ran it through my Big Shot using the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to give it a little texture.
I stamped the ‘God Is Love’ sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Hold On To Hope Stamp Set in Fresh Fig Ink on a scrap piece of Powder Pink cardstock and cut it out using my Big Shot and the Cross Of Hope Framelits Dies. I adhered the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot. I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels to the artwork.
