So Happy

Here’s a quick card for the current Market Street Stamps Paint the Town color challenge. I went with a slightly more muted version of the challenge colors, but I think they’re still close enough to count!

I used the tulip image from the So Happy set as my focal image. It’s set on a panel of chevron patterned paper that serves as a sky backdrop. I stamped the flower part on a scrap of cream cardstock and cut it out, then used a dimensional dot to attach it to the panel. The little leaf on the stem was paper pieced for contrast with the patterned background.

I made the grass strip with a border punch. Some baker’s twine wrapped around the strip gives it a little texture. I set the little scene on a coral mat, then attached it to a cream panel. I positioned the scene to leave more space on the bottom so I could stamp the sentiment beneath it in green ink. The clouds were a last-minute add on. They were already cut and sitting on my table, so I added them to the mix.
