Happy Saturday, I think I said this last week, why is it even though I am retired that I always look forward to the weekend.  I retired at 48 from the DeKalb School System so I have been retired for many, many years and I still feel the same as when I was I worked. I know every day can be a weekend for us but there just seems to be things you do through the week that you do not once do the weekend rolls around just like when you worked.  Hope you are having a great one.

My card today features the Butterfly Bijou DSP and a greeting from the Gift of Hope Stamp Set along with the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and the Stitched Lace Die.

Inspiration for the design comes from the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge — sketch by Melissa Craig.

Start with a Just Jade card stock card base and layer a panel of the same that has been embossed using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder.  Crop a panel of Basic White card stock using the Stitched Lace Die. Cut a strip of the finished crop for the band across the Meadow Moments embossed panel.

A panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP is cut from a panel of the DSP and matted on a panel of Gorgeous Grape card stock.  This is adhered over the embossed panel with the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and the band of lace.

The greeting is from the Gift of Hope Stamp Set and is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock. The greeting is matted on a square of Gorgeous Grape card stock that has been cropped using a die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  Fussy cut a butterfly from a panel of the Butterfly Brilliance DSP and pop on the card front.  Pop five Rhinestone Basic Jewels, colored with the Dark Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Marker onto the butterfly body.

The inside sentiment panel is without a sentiment so a note can be written.  A strip of the Butterfly Bijou DSP and a fussy cut butterfly from another panel of the DSP is adhered over the strip.

The medium Basic White envelope flap gets a panel of Butterfly Bijou DSP.
