Today's card comes to you thanks to a leftover piece from Tuesday's card and a sketch challenge from Hand Stamped Sentiments:
This is a pretty challenging sketch. Putting the sentiment so high up is not a normal practice for me. I tend to put the "heavier" or visually weighty items closer to the bottom of the card and I couldn't imagine what sentiment would work up there. Well, that is until I pulled out Stitched All Around, a set whose companion dies had 4 different die shapes that can be used for greetings , including one measuring approximately 1/2" x 1". That and some butterflies from Butterfly Gala. Anything with butterflies can't be too heavy, right?
And, how could I resist that large stitched die that was perfect for the oval in the sketch.
- The left over Country Floral strip is approximately 1" wide and goes really well with the stitches in the Stitched All Around dies AND the Quilt Top embossing folder I used on the base layer.
- The butterflies are stamped with Daffodil Delight and colored slightly with a blender pen using ink form the ink pad.
- Very Vanilla Baker's Twine and a few pearls help me finish off the last few elements of the sketch.
- This is a standard A2 card, measuring 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Here are the two cards together:

The Country Floral Embossing Folder is a new addition to Stampin' Up!'s Sale-A-Bration lineup. You can get it for free with a $50 order through the rest of Sale-A-Bration which goes through March 31, 2019 OR until it runs out. While I don't have a crystal ball, from the response this folder is getting, I would not be surprised if the supply is depleted prior to the end of March. The links at this end of this post will bring you to my store so you can see more information about this exciting folder.
The Butterfly Duo punch has been very popular and is unavailable at this time. Stampin' Up! has more punches on order with hopes that they will be available sometime in April.
