STAMPIN' UP! POSITIVE THOUGHTS BRIGHT FRIENDSHIP CARD

Positive Thoughts is a lovely stamp set that has been sitting on my shelf, unloved, for quite a while.  I decided to ink it up, in some happy, bright colours:

 I started off with a Whisper White panel that I'd cut with the sweet rectangle die, from Nature's Thoughts.  I stamped the fern fronds in Granny Apple Green, stamping off to get a lighter impression on some.  I then repeatedly stamped the flower in Mango Melody (a colour I seldom use, but how pretty is it?!) to the right of the ferns.  Some are in full strength ink, and some stamped off.  I added black centres to some of the flowers, with a stamp from To A Wild Rose.

The embossed floral panel is a piece of Daffodil Delight card.  I rubbed my Daffodil Delight inkpad directly over the inside of the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder, inserted the piece of card, and ran it through my die-cutting and embossing machine.  The ink has settled in the negative spaces, giving a lovely depth of colour to the piece.

The die-cut embellishments - Mango Melody flowers, and a Daffodil Delight butterfly - are from Nature's Thoughts, which co-ordinates beautifully with the Positive Thoughts stamp set.

I hope this bright and cheery card puts a smile on your face today.
