Yesterday was a beautiful sunshiny and hot day–81 degrees here and it is only February.  Does that mean we have a very hot sultry summer that will make us housebound for the coolness of the air conditioner?

My card is created using the Ribbon of Courage stamp set (annual catalog) and the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the 2019 Occasions catalog.  The Poppy Parade flowers on the art piece are from the Wonderful Romance stamp set ( 2019 Occasions catalog.

My inspiration and design comes from the As You See It Challenge #193.  

And…

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

My card base is Night of Navy card stock with a Balmy Blue card stock mat.  The three focal panels are from the Needlepoint Nook DSP. 

The art piece with the greeting from the Ribbon of Courage stamp set is stamped in Poppy Parade ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and then cut out using the Layering Circle Framelits Dies.    

The art piece is adhered using Liquid Glue to a Balmy Blue mat that has also been cut using the Layering Circle Framelits Dies. 

The mat is then popped in the center of the focal panel using Stampin Dimensionals.  A few lengths of  Whisper White Twine is wrapped around this panel and tied in a bow.  A few sequins from the Gingham Gala sequins are scattered around the card front and added to the center of the two Poppy Parade flowers.

That’s it for the card front now on to the inside sentiment.

The sentiment from the 2019 Sale-A Bration catalog Home to Roost stamp set (FREE with $50 purchase)  is stamped in Poppy Parade ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that is matted on a panel of Balmy Blue card stock.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card.  My wish is that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations. from the
