My Favorite Reason to Smile

This week's blogger challenge is a color challenge using blue, green, and pink.  I combined the colors with stamps and this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch challenge to come up with this cheerful design.

After hand cutting the large blue banner panel, I stamped the "you are my favorite reason to smile" sentiment on it in darker blue ink.  The panel was adhered over a white card base covered with a wide strip of lime green chevron patterned paper edged with a coordinating narrow solid lime green cardstock strip.  The bottom edges of the papers were curved with a corner rounder to add interest.

I accented the large banner with a pair of bubblegum pink hearts cut with MFT's Staggered Heart Border die.  Instead of placing a pair of embellishments on the left side of the cardfront just above the banner panel, I tucked a small ribbon tab underneath the top of the panel and added a single pink enamel dot on top.

Materials Used:
Smile stamp set, Bubblegum cardstock, Die-namics Staggered Heart Border die (My Favorite Things); Aquamarine ink, Sea Glass cardstock (Avery Elle); Limeade Ice cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Summer Bliss 6x6 paper pad (Echo Park); pink enamel dot (Eyelet Outlet); rose grosgrain ribbon (Stampin' Up!); corner rounder; foam tape
