Sending Smiles!

Spring is just around the corner!

It’s Wednesday, and for today's card I used Andreas Kitties - R202 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the main image and Sending Smiles - G276 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. This cheery little girl is hoping to bring smiles to everyone she knows and hopefully put a smile on your face too. She's already for Spring! Are you??? I know I am. LOL!

To make this card, I started out with a 6" x 6" card base and then mounted the background onto the card. I cut the ovals and scalloped oval using my Cuttlebug and die cut from My Creative Time - Scalloped Stitched Oval Dies. The sentiment was cut out using My Creative Time - Ribbon End Dies.

For the main image, I used Copic markers to colour it all in. I fussy cut around the image and then traced around all of the edges using my black Copic marker. I edged around all of the borders of the die cuts with various Tim Holtz distress inks. I assembled the card using 3M VHB - 2 sided tape.

To add the last finishing touch to the card, I added in some flowers along the side and a pearl in the centre for all of the yellow flowers.
