The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello Stamp Set.  This stamp set is a free item during Sale-A-Bration with a qualified purchase.

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge gives the inspiration for the design of my card.

I started my creation by starting with a Basic White card stock base, embossing a panel of the same white card stock using the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, cutting a piece of card stock for the art piece, and embossing it at the bottom using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder before stamping the art image.

The bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello Stamp Set is stamped in Smoky Slate ink above the embossed portion of the card.  I used Watercolor Pencils in Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, and Pumpkin Pie to color the image along with a Blender Pen.

A heart is cropped using a die from the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder and Hugs is stamped in Memento Black ink.  Hugs is one of the stamps from Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set, I masked the other two words so only the Hugs would stamp.

Mats of Pacific Blue card stock are cut for the art piece and the greeting.  A strip of the Friendly Hello DSP is cut for the band across the card.  Now all layers are assembled using Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Brushed Brass Butterflies are popped onto the art piece.

The inside panel gets the same bird stamped on it as the one on the front of the card. It is colored using the same colors of Watercolor Pencils.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of  Friendly Hello DSP applied to the flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

If you would like to create this card all the products used are at the end of this post.
