Today’s card is from a FREEBIE stamp set that you can earn with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.  It is the By The Bay stamp set.

 

My inspiration comes from the TGIF Challenge  Sale-A-Bration

My card starts with a Granny Apple Green card base with a Blueberry Bushel focal panel that has been embossed with the Seaside Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF).  The art piece from the stamp set By The Bay is a 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ square that is stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.  It is then colored using watercolor pencils and an Aqua Painter.  The watercolor pencils used are Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green, Real Red, and Early Expresso.  After finishing coloring a 2″ x 2″ square is cut from the art piece using the Layering Square Framelits.  The piece with the square cut out is adhered to the focal using Liquid Glue, then the 2″ square is popped back into the place it was cut from.  This is a technique Amy Koenders showed us, so I am CAS(E)ing what she showed us.  Thanks Amy. Linen Thread is wrapped three times around the Blueberry Bushel focal panel and tied in a knot.  The greeting stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink is from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set.  It seems I have used that stamp set a lot lately.  It is then cut using a Layering Oval Framelits Dies.  Since everything that needs to be on the Blueberry Bushel focal panel is finished, it is then popped on the Granny Apple Green card base.

The inside sentiment from Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set, I used it again, is stamped in Blueberry Bushel on a panel of Whisper White.  The birds are stamped in Blueberry Bushel that has been stamped off once and then stamped on the panel.  The panel is adhered using Liquid Glue.

Thanks for stopping by.  My wish for you is that you find encouragement and inspiration always from the cards I create.
