You make me so happy

I like this big sentiment stamp. Also this stamp set come with a lot of small sentiment. Very useful. 

I used Distress Oxide Ink to sponge the background. Today I used the whisper white cardstock to make my card. To be honest. Bristol white paper is much easier to blend, special for Distress Oxide Ink. The result is more smooth. 

I splashed the water on the paper and tap the napkin on it to dry. I embossed the "you make me so" by gold embossing powder. And I colored the tiny flowers and leaves by Prismacolor pencils.

I cut the thin stripe for year from cheer designer series pattern paper and glue it under the Happy. To finish I added the pearls on the card panel. Then mounted the panel on the thick cardbase.

Joy Ornament card

Today I got up early. I am not a morning person. But I just had a idea for a card. I really wanted to try it.

I cut a circle on a white panel that is a little smaller than a A2 cardbase. Then I used the retired Stampin Up pine bough embossing folder to make texture on the on card. And I sponged the green color on the pine branch.

I cut a red glitter circle tag and covered the circle on the panel.

I made a white snow sky on the small piece white cardstock by cold diamond glitter. I also die cut small houses on the white card stock and colored windows. I used the foam square to add houses in front snow blue sky.

Before I planned to make a shaker card. Now I changed my mind to leave it open and added the snow on the ground and roof of house. Also I tired the gold thread on the red tag hole to made an ornament.

For background, I used the Lindy's gang spring color. Beautiful color. After dry, I wrote the white dots on the sky by white pen. Also I embossed the sentiment on the sky by silver embossing powder.

Thinking of you

Today I made a very simple card. At beginning, I want to make a winter scene with snow. But in this stamp set I never used this lonely tree. So I changed my mind to use this lonely tree to make a card. Also out of my window it’s still fall season. Leaves just started to turn yellow and fell down.
