Bring on the Happy

 I gave myself a challenge to go through the goodies other card makers have given me over the years and use them, so I picked an envelope and this flower background was one of the images in that envelope, it was given to me in 2017, I think it was high time to use it, don't you think :)  There was no writing on the back to say what the stamp was.  I colored it with markers and added one of my double sided flower dies to it. I did a little splattering of white paint to the background, I wish I would have thought to use gold I think that would have been prettier.


  • Gemini - Cosmo's double sided dies
  • Stamped image unknown, colored w/markers
  • Penny black - Sprinkles and smiles stamped sentiment
  • White paint splatters


I am sharing todays card with the Sisterhood of Crafters were the challenge is to use Happy in your sentiment.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Wowie, Connie, this is so gorgeous! I love the blues. Good luck using those goodies. I have a drawer quite full of these wonderful gifts as well. Many are dies from a friend who is no longer with us, and more from another friend who has advanced Alzheimer's. They are precious to me. I love your new blog header!
