Butterfly Gala
Have you ever had a day, where no matter how hard you are trying you just can’t seem to get a card created that is suitable? Well, that was me today! As you will see from my card, it is a simple easy as can be, but for some reason, I had a block and could not seem to make it work.
My design is from Sketch Saturday. 
My card starts with a Tranquil Tide (Tranquil Tide will be retiring as of June 4) card base. Next is a Mosaic Mood DSP ( available June 4) mat that is cut to reveal a portion of the card base between the cuts.
Three squares are cut from Whisper White card stock to adhere the individual butterflies. A Tranquil Tide mat is cut for each. After the butterflies are popped on the squares the squares are then popped onto the card front. Rhinestone Basic Jewels are added to each butterfly. A greeting is stamped in Tranquil Tide ink on a scrap of Whisper White. Just one more thing to add to my day, I did not write down which stamp set the Hello is from so I can not remember. You can use any stamp set that has a hello stamp if you should choose to make this card.
The inside sentiment is stamped in Tranquil Tide ink on a panel of Whisper White. Three butterflies are adhered using Liquid Glue.
Thank you for stopping by. My wish is that you have a blessed day and find encouragement or inspiration for your own creations.

Is there a rush on at your home with Christmas being tomorrow ? I was at the grocery store yesterday and kept hearing comments of how tired I am. People rush and hurry getting everything to perfection or so they think, only to end up so tired they can not enjoy the day when it arrives. Even when I was a little girl, I can remember my grandmother and aunt hurrying about sewing dresses, crocheting scarves and most of all baking. I can remember my grandmother and aunt baking at least 20 cakes each, and to think they were all eaten during the Christmas festivities. People were always dropping in to visit and it was cake and coffee for everyone. Can you imagine baking 20 cakes in just a few days before Christmas. I can remember they were always moist and delicious. Another aunt, made a chocolate cake with black walnuts that is the most delicious cake you will ever eat. I think it must have been a tradition in the community to see who could bake the most cakes so they could tell it on Sunday at church.
The flowers are a two step process and from the stamp set Incredible Like You (available January 3), This technique is something I have never tried before. It took me practice and three tries before I finally was able to think this piece was acceptable. As always practice makes perfect, so I must try it again to see the results. You stamp the darkest color first or that is the way I did it and then you stamp the lightest color, stamping off once to make the color lighter. The color is Lovely Lipstick, but to me it looks more like Cherry Cobbler. The art piece is now adhered to the Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue and a length of Pear Pizzazz 3/8″ ribbon is wrapped around the art piece. This is now adhered to the embossed panel using Liquid Glue. 
The greeting is stamped in Lovely Lipstick on a scrap of Whisper White, then cropped using the Layering Oval Framelits Dies. It is popped over the ribbon in the lower right corner of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A tiny butterfly is cut using one of the butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (available January 3). A pearl from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearl pack is glued to the butterfly. A Glue Dot is used to adhere to the card front. Three pearls from the same pack are adhered to the upper right corner.
