Happiness... Now

Howdy hey! Hope you're having an awesome day! I'm getting ready to skootch on over to bed, but wanted to make sure I got this posted before I do... I've been such a slacker with my post times in the morning lately. I used to try to get everything up by 9-ish, but it seems like since my daughter has been riding the bus to school, I don't get around to posting until noon time, which makes no sense because now I have *more* free time in the morning. LOL, I must be really good at wasting time, eh?? :)

This card was created using two different sets from There She Goes... Bloom (flowers) and Flowers of Happiness (sentiment). The strip of flowers was created by taking two flower stems, and connecting their bases. I love that at first glance, you don't even notice that the flowers near the bottom of the card are upside down. Tee hee. Trickery I tell ya!! :)

Have a great day!

Instructions:
  • Create turquoise A2 card base.
  • Stamp background image in white ink on right 2/3 of card base.
  • Apply strip of Scor-Tape to left side of base, then ruffle orange ribbon.
  • Stamp two flower images, color with Copics and cut out.
  • Adhere to card base with pop dots.
  • Stamp sentiment in black ink, cut out with Nestabilities die, then adhere with pop dots.

Supplies:
Stamps - Background Basics: Retro, Flowers of Happiness (There She Goes), Bloom (There She Goes)
Paper - Hawaiian Shores, Stamper's Select White
Ink - Fresh Snow, Memento Black, True Black, Copics
Miscellaneous - Orange Zest Grosgrain Ribbon, Nestabilities Labels 9
