STAMPIN' UP! BRIGHT SKIES FRIENDSHIP CARD

I've used Stampin' Up!'s Bright Skies stamps and dies to make a sweet card, that I hope puts a smile on your face today!  

The background paper is from the Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper pack.  I sponged the edges with Boho Blue ink, and matted it on a Boho Blue card layer and Thick Basic White card base.

On Basic White card, I stamped the clouds using Bubble Bath, Boho Blue and Lemon Lolly inks.  The tulips were stamped in Pretty in Pink ink, with Granny Apple Green stems and leaves.  All of these stamped images were cut out using co-ordinating dies.

The sentiment was stamped in Boho Blue ink, and I added some stamped flowers in Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly ink.

Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins add even more sunshiney cheer.

Not only might the lovely soft colours make you smile, but the fact I had nearly finished creating my card, when I inadvertently touched a couple of spots with very inky fingers.

  Nothing a couple of strategically-placed flowers can't fix!  (Sorry the colours are a bit "off", but I just quickly snapped this near-disaster with my phone.)

Here's "corrective flower #1" in Lemon Lolly:

... and "corrective flower #2" in Daffodil Delight:

STAMPIN' UP! BRIGHT SKIES CARD

 Today's card features the Bright Skies bundle (cute stamps and dies) from Stampin' Up!'s January - April Mini Catalogue.  The papers I've used are from the co-ordinating Sunny Days Designer Series Paper pack, that can be earned for FREE with a $90+ Stampin' Up! order before the end of February.

I sponged the edges of both patterned papers with Pool Party ink, then matted them on a Pool Party card layer.

The three clouds were die-cut from the Designer Series Paper.  After stamping the sun in Crushed Curry ink, on Basic White card, I cut it out using the co-ordinating die, and tucked it behind the clouds.

I stamped the tulips in Poppy Parade and Petal Pink ink, and the flower stems in Shaded Spruce ink, on Basic White card.  I love that there are matching dies for these little stamped images.

The sentiment, stamped in Pool Party ink on Basic White card, was cut out using a Deckled Rectangles Die.  I cut it out once, then moved the card within the die, to custom fit it to my sentiment, then ran the sentiment label back through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine.

Pool Party Grosgrain Ribbon, and Petal Pink Foiled Gems, were my embellishments of choice for this card.
