YAY!   Sale-A-Brations starts today!  Is everyone ready? I have my list ready.  My card today is a combination of the Petal Palette stamp set and the All Love DSP from the Occasions catalog.

The card is a simple and easy one to make and only takes minutes to make unless you are like me and get side-tracked doing something else and have to come back to it a dozen times.

The inspiration for my sketch layout comes from Global Design Project, this week’s challenge. 

The card base is Balmy Blue cut 5-1/2″  x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″.  The mat is a panel  4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″  cut from the  All My Love DSP.  It is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Another panel is cut measuring 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ to use as the focal panel.  This also was adhered with Multipurpose Glue.

The mat for the art piece is a 1-7/8″ x 3-1/8″ panel cut using a Rectangle Framelits Die.  It is cut from a piece of the All My Love DSP.  The art piece measures 1-1/2″ x 2-7/8″ and is cut from a piece of Whisper White card stock. The greeting stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink is from the Petal Palette stamp set.  The greeting was masked so it could be stamped in two sections, instead of one long line.  The Balmy Blue hearts are embossed using the Subtle Dynamic TIEF. They are staggered down the art piece with the bottom three being attached to Silver Thread and then adhered to the panel.

Look at the difference in the two cards, one is photographed with a pink back ground, the other with a light wood background.  It makes all the difference in the background you use for the clarity of  a picture.

The inside sentiment panel is cut using the Stitched Label Framelits Dies.  The sentiment is from the Incredible Like You stamp set and is stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink.

Thank you for stopping by today!  Have a blessed day and my wish for you is to find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.
