Today we're creating One More Card Using One Layout with Choose Happy Stamps. Tuesday we chatted about the versatility of using one layout and one stamp set for multiple occasions throughout the year. If you missed that card you can check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's card.
This is the Choose Happy stamp set...
As we mentioned previously---the mix & match of these sentiments makes this set quite useful for the entire year of greetings. The images are just perfect to pair up for a bit of "happy" to go along with the sentiments.
Here's today's card...
here's a bit closer look...
For today's card we began with a basic white base & added a bright & cheery Daffodil layer with the embossed Dotted Circle image...that just makes you happy to look at it.
This looks great but adding that thin black edge around the daffodil really perked it up & made the yellow a bit brighter!
Using this as our standard base (like Tuesday's card) we change the appearance a bit by reducing the size of the border and adding the second one...still the same design but by making these small changes really makes the card appear to be different.
We used the same basic circle..just one size larger & 'floral' border instead of the 'dot dash' border on Tuesday's card. Again, same basic design but a small change gives us a slightly different feel.
This card uses the flower and bumble bee for the focal points. We used 2 of the greetings to form our sentient 'happy birthday." The two different fonts add a lot of interest rather than using just one.
The dash of sparkle was accomplished using the Sparkle Gems in gold.
I'll give you step by step directions for today's project below followed by the supply list.
