Happy Thoughts

Good Morning! 

This card will be entered into the following Challenges; Simon Says Monday, Things With Wings, Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!, Simon Says Work It Wednesday, Spring Has Sprung, Penny Black, All Things Spring and Stamping Sensations, Anything Goes!

 
 
I used the Altenew stamp sets, Beautiful Day and Wild Hibiscus.  Images stamped in Brutus Monroe Black Raven ink and colored with Copic Markers.  I stamped my flowers and butterflies on White card stock and then split the panel, adding a smaller sentiment panel in between which has been layered onto a strip of Yellow card stock.  These were mounted onto the Black card stock base.
 

 
 
I spritzed it all over with Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Butter and then splattered some Black Craft Paint all over too.  Sakura Black Glaze Pen added to flower centers.  Wink Of Glitter Clear pen for a little shimmer and shine.
 
The calendar says Spring, but Mother Nature still has the final word.....and it ain't Spring.  I have a feeling we will go right into summer.  Yikes!
 
Thanks for stopping by!
 
Enjoy~~

  10. I love your beautiful design. The yellow flowers are so gorgeous and remind me of a sunny day. Thanks for sharing. I might be going into a rest from card making for a bit as I need to get to baking and cleaning. But keep inspiring me as you never know I might just have to stop and make a quick design. LOL
