Happy Day

Hello, friends!   It is a happy day...I was able to make a card for the current Hero Arts Monthly Challenge using some goodies that I won from Vera W. Yates (Ling)...thanks again, Vera! 

I love these floral eyelets, and I immediately thought they would look so cute on the old Hero Arts "Row of Perky Flowers" stamp.  I started out with my favorite Clouds stamp in soft pool shadow ink, stamped the flowers, punched holes and inserted the flower eyelets.  I layered papers for grass and the matting, and stamped Cling Dots in soft vanilla shadow ink on the card base.  I added black stitching and dots (around the popped up MS butterfly) for a final touch, and added the sentiment from the Thoughtful Messages set.  I'm thinking this card would be a cheerful way to wish a child a happy day.


I might as well share a little side project my daughter and I made the other day, too.  She likes to dance to music stored on our iPod, and she asked her dad to burn her a CD with some of our favorites on it.  After she came up with her catchy little title, I typed up the cover for her.  Of course, once I cut it out it looked blank...we can't have THAT, so I took out a few trusty Hero Arts stamps and decorated a bit...




Don't soft pool and poppy chalk ink look pretty together?  Makes me think summer.

Thanks for stopping by...have a happy day!
