By the Bay
Today’s card is from a FREEBIE stamp set that you can earn with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. It is the By The Bay stamp set.
My inspiration comes from the TGIF Challenge Sale-A-Bration
My card starts with a Granny Apple Green card base with a Blueberry Bushel focal panel that has been embossed with the Seaside Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF). 
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.
Thanks for stopping by. My wish for you is that you find encouragement and inspiration always from the cards I create.

Guess everyone watched the Super Bowl! Did your team win?
Welcome, this cold day in Georgia! I know our cold is nothing compared to the folks in the Midwest. You are really having cold, freezing, and potentially life-threatening weather. I hope everyone has a warm spot. I think of the homeless and know some are out in this freezing weather. Everyone have a safe and warm day. Stay inside and make cards.
In creating my card for today I used the Climbing Roses stamp set and Botanical Butterfly DSP. This was a fun card to make, but then they all are fun, what am I saying, but I do love butterflies. My inspiration and design come from the challenge this week at
Two butterflies are colored on this panel using Light Old Olive, Light Highland Heather, and Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends. The next layer is another Highland Heather panel that is the mat for the Whisper White panel that has the greeting stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. The greeting is from the Climbing Roses stamp set.
This panel has two fussy cut butterflies from the Botanical Butterfly DSP adhered with Glue Dots. The long vertical panel is Highland Heather for the mat and Whisper White for the art piece. 
The butterflies for the art piece has been fussy cut from the Botanical Butterfly DSP also and adhered with Glue Dots to the Whisper White panel. To me, they do not look fussy cut from a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP but stamped and colored with watercolor pens or Stampin’ Blend Markers. Using a black fine point pen (non-Stampin’ Up!) just a regular pen you write with, I made dots on this panel. After all the panels were adhered using Liquid Glue the final thing was to pop the finished panel on the Basic Black base. 
The inside sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on the label made from one of the dies in the Climbing Rose bundle. It is adhered to a panel from the Botanical Butterfly DSP that has been matted on a panel of Highland Heather card stock. The butterflies on the Botanical Butterfly DSP panel are colored using Light Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, and Old Olive Stampin’ Blend Markers. A Whisper White panel is adhered above the sentiment panel for a note whether it birthday, thinking of you, or sympathy that you are using it for, you will be able to have a spot for a personal note.
