Today’s card is created using the Happiness Blooms DSP and the two stamp sets Detailed with Love stamp set for the greeting and the Hanging Garden stamp set for the inside sentiment.

My design comes from the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #316 for this week.

And…

The Sisterhood of Crafters has a challenge that is titled “April Showers”.  The Designer Series Paper on my card looks like little umbrellas so I thought I would join this challenge.

My card is great for a beginning stamper as it is very simple to make, yet it is a pretty unique card. 

The card base is Whisper White card stock with a Whisper White mat that is cut the same size as the card front and embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder.  I find it easier to emboss a single panel of card stock than trying to emboss the card front.  Just make the embossed panel the same size as your card and then glue on the card front.  

A panel of the Happiness Blooms DSP is cut 4″ x 3″ and then placed at an angle the card front and trimmed to the shape needed for the challenge card.  It is matted using a panel of the Needlepoint Nook DSP cut 1/8″ larger than the focal panel.

The greeting is from the Detailed With Love stamp set and is stamped on a square of Whisper White card stock that has been cut using the Layering Square Dies.  It is matted in a square from the Needlepoint Nook DSP.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  It is adhered using Liquid Glue.  I fussy cut the little flowers from the Happiness Blooms DSP  and adhered down the side using Liquid Glue.  Don’t you think the tops look like the top of an umbrella?

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you are blessed beyond your imagination!  Have a great day!
