Happy Everything ...

Good morning! Today I'm sharing a a Spring card featuring H228 Spring Floral Border and B246 Happy Everything Sentiment, available at the Great Impressions Stamps.

I stamped the lovely Spring Floral Border on CutCardStock Basis White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Since I stamped the image a week before coloring, I decided to watercolor the image with my Marvy Markers. Once it was dry I cut the image out with my pierced rectangle die.

Using a diagonal stitched die I cut the background with CutCardStock Pink Basis cardstock, and then cut some scrap design paper to go along the left side. Since my design didn't allow for the  Happy Everything Sentiment to be together, I cut the stamp in half, and put half of the sentiment above the image and half below the image.

Next I added my background to my cardbase, adhered the Spring Floral Border image with 3D Foam Tape, then added a butterfly in the right hand corner with pearls in the center.

I'm happy to say that I love how my water coloring turned out since I used Memento Tuxedo Black Ink to stamp the image. The only smudge was caused when I put the sky in near the bottom of the image.
