I hope it is warm where you are today.  It is extremely cold for Georgia I think.  Too cold to venture outside, so it is a good day for card making.  Come join me!  We can make this card together using the beautiful Lovely Lattice stamp set, free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.

The inspiration for today comes from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge.  At first, I thought can I do this with these colors and I want to thank you for using them.  It was fun to see what I could do, especially with the Fresh Fig.

Loved creating this card, guess I am a kindergartener at heart.  I love coloring.  The card has a Whisper White card base with a Petal Pink mat for the art piece.  The Petal Pink mat has been embossed using the Subtle TIEF.  If you are still undecided about getting the Subtle embossing folder, go for it, it gives so much texture to a card and makes a world of difference in the way your card will look.  It is on page 223 of the Annual catalog.  I know we are all excited about the Occasions catalog but there are still great products in the Annual catalog also.

The mat is popped on the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The beautiful flowers from the Lovely Lattice stamp set are stamped on a panel of White White card stock using Memento Black Ink.  The flowers are watercolored using Fresh Fig and Mossy Meadow stamp pads.  You can see here how I did it.  You press the stamp pad so that ink will go into the lid and then with an Aqua Painter you add water as need.  

That is the reason I was so amazed at how the color of Fresh Fig turned out.  I had thought it would be dark for flowers but you can see from the card that it turned into a beautiful color by adding the water.  The Mossy Meadow ink color turned to a beautiful green after adding just a bit of water, you can see that also on the card. The decorative lattice piece on the right side is from the Petals and More Thinlits Dies set.  It is adhered using Liquid Glue.  Three Pearl Basic Jewels are popped on the art panel and finally, the art panel is popped on the Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The greeting stamped in Fresh Fig ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock is from the Itty Bitty stamp set and was cut out the shape of the stamp.

The inside sentiment panel is stamped on  Whisper White card stock in Fresh Fig ink using sentiments from Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set. This Whisper White panel is adhered onto a panel of Petal Pink card stock and then onto the Whisper White card base.

Well, that is it for today! Come back tomorrow to see the latest creation.  I hope you like this one and it gives you encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.

Stampin’ With ShirleyG  Butterfly Rewards 

Qualify to earn FREE Stampin’ Up! product from ANY current Stampin’ Up! catalog or promotion!  The Stampin With ShirleyG Rewards Program is my way of personally saying “thank you” to my frequent shoppers.

How Butterfly Rewards Work:

• For each $25 that you order from my online store (before S & H) you will earn one Butterfly.  You also earn my monthly Online Class Tutorial with projects that are exclusive to my classes!
• You will earn one Butterfly for each friend that you refer when they place their first order of $25+ from my online store.
• When you have earned 16 Butterflies you will get a FREE product order valued up to $40.00, your choice and mailed directly to you!

NO MONTHLY COMMITMENT – Just place a $25.00 or greater online order through me (must be a single order of $25 or higher before shipping and tax) online.  For every full increment of $25.00 (before shipping and tax), you earn one Butterfly.  Individual orders may NOT be combined to attain a Butterfly.  Example: a product order of $49 would not qualify for a Butterfly.  However, an order of $101 would qualify for TWO Butterflies.  Please note, when shopping online make sure that you are shopping in my online store otherwise your orders won’t count toward your Butterfly Reward totals.

I’ve created a sheet to help you keep track of your Butterfly Rewards.  You can open and print the PDF by clicking on the link here:
