fresh & fun

I had a great time with the ladies from Stamp Camp. Today six stampers came, a new record for me in Niceville! After they left and I had cleaned up, I had this main image sitting on my table from the card I made. It just didn’t look right with the tall trifold, but I didn’t want to toss it out. So here is the card I made with the recycled image:

Whenever I used the You make me Happy stamp set, the song “Oh Happy Day” pops in my head!  The flowers are stamped with Pixie Pink and Cool Caribbean on whisper white cardstock that had been stamped with So saffron and the background stamp first.The stem is the long thin saying from the set. I outlined the flowers, stems and leaves with the brown marker. I sponged the edges of the cardstock with so saffron and layered it on Chocolate chip cardstock.

I tied a bow with celery organdy and white grosgrain ribbon and added my dragonfly circle underneath.

The dragonfly is stamped in pixie pink on whisper white cardstock and cut out. I then only taped her body to the so saffron 1 1/4″ circle so I could bend the wings upward a bit.

The patterned paper is from the Petals & Paisleys Designer paper. I can’t help it. I have to use the new designer paper on every card! Help! I am obsessed. It’s just so pretty. I don’t even put it away now. It’s sitting right next to me on my stamp table.

The bottom corners of the layers were punched with the ticket punch and a saffron brad was added to each corner of the chocolate cardstock base.
