Happiness Blooms with Love What You Do
Seems I used a lot of stamp sets; Love What You Do, Incredible Like You, Well Said in creating this card plus the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper (DSP)
My design comes from Freshly Made Sketches. At first, I thought what can I do with this sketch and then it just all seemed to come together and the card turned out to be rather pretty.
My card starts with a Whisper White Thick card base.
The card base is embossed using the Subtles Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF).
Flowers are fussy cut from a panel of the Happiness Blooms DSP. They are adhered to the Subtles embossed card front using Liquid Glue and Mini Stampin Dimensionals.
A 2″ x 4-1/4″ panel of the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper is cut and adhered across the bottom of the card base covering the tip ends of the flowers.
There are four cuts of the Happy from a panel of the DSP like the panel used at the bottom. A piece of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet is adhered to the back of the panel so when the cuts were made it would be easier to adhere them together. By having four adhered together it gives a bit of dimension to the word. The same was done for the word Birthday only it was cut from a panel of Calypso Coral card stock.
Three sequins from the Basic Adhesive Backed Sequin package is scattered on the card front.
The inside sentiment from the Incredible Like You Stamp set is stamped in Calypso Coral ink on a panel of Whisper White that has been trimmed with a section of the same DSP used on the card front. Flowers are from the Love What You Do stamp set is stamped in Calypso Coral and Call Me Clover ink.
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like my card. Have a blessed day!

Three butterflies cut from a panel of Botanical Butterfly DSP are scattered on the focal panel and adhered with Glue Dots. The focal panel is adhered to the Pool Party mat then the panels are adhered to the card base.
The inside Whisper White sentiment panel is stamped in Call Me Clover ink using a stamp from the Cake Soriee stamp set. A flower is also stamped in Call Me Clover on the panel. The panel is matted on a panel of Pool Party card stock and adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue. It amazes me how the flower look once it has been added to the blog post it looks nothing like that in real time. I took several pictures and each one turned out with that effect.

My card starts with a Poppy Parade card stock base. The card front is embossed using the Subtle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF). This is a rather easy card. I cut the flowers from a panel of the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper (DSP). 
The strip down the left side is also cut from the reverse side of the flower panel. A tiny border of Call Me Clover card stock is added between the strip of maze DSP and the flowers. A vertical greeting is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink in the center of the maze strip. 
A flower is cut from the DSP and popped on the flower at the bottom of the panel of flowers. Several Basic Adhesive-Back Sequins are scattered over the Poppy Parade card base.
The inside sentiment panel is stamped in Grapefruit Grove and Call Me Clover ink with a flower from the Painted Seasons stamp set. A sequin is added to the center of the flower. The sentiment comes from the stamp set Humming Along and is stamped in Call Me Clover. The panel is trimmed on the right and left sides with a small strip of the maze DSP which is the reverse side of the flowers used on the front. 
The art piece from the stamp set By The Bay is a 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ square that is stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. It is then colored using watercolor pencils and an Aqua Painter. The watercolor pencils used are Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green, Real Red, and Early Expresso. 
After finishing coloring a 2″ x 2″ square is cut from the art piece using the Layering Square Framelits. The piece with the square cut out is adhered to the focal using Liquid Glue, then the 2″ square is popped back into the place it was cut from. This is a technique Amy Koenders showed us, so I am CAS(E)ing what she showed us. Thanks Amy.
Linen Thread is wrapped three times around the Blueberry Bushel focal panel and tied in a knot. The greeting stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink is from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set. It seems I have used that stamp set a lot lately. It is then cut using a Layering Oval Framelits Dies. Since everything that needs to be on the Blueberry Bushel focal panel is finished, it is then popped on the Granny Apple Green card base.
The inside sentiment from Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set, I used it again, is stamped in Blueberry Bushel on a panel of Whisper White. The birds are stamped in Blueberry Bushel that has been stamped off once and then stamped on the panel. The panel is adhered using Liquid Glue.
