Sunny Days Designer Series Paper makes the card I am sharing today, a bright and cheery card.  I am using Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set for the images on the card and Thoughtful Expressions Dies to die cut the images.  I am also using Painted Posies 3 D Embossing Folder.

I started with a Basic White cardstock card base embossing a panel of the same using Painted Posies 3 D Embossing Folder. I cut a piece of Sunny Days Designer Series Paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with a qualified order) matting it on a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock.  The piece is then adhered over the embossed piece and adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Gems from Tinsel Gems Four Pack are popped around the card front.

These are my challenges for this card

Never Before Used Schtuff      

Flowers and a hummingbird from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set are stamped in Smoky Slate ink. After see the posted picture I realize the hummingbird should have probably been stamped in Memento Black ink to give a more distinct look.  The flowers are colored using Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. The hummingbird is colored using Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. Wink of Stella is brushed on the flowers and parts of the hummingbird, but it doesn’t show up very well in the photo.  Leaves are die cut from Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce cardstock using dies from Thoughtful Expressions Dies.

Two labels are die cut from Basic White cardstock using dies from Thoughtful Expressions Dies.  The circle is for the flowers and hummingbird to rest.  The other one is for the greeting stamped in Smoky Slate ink, fussy cut, and adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the label.  The label is popped over the edge of the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Iridescent Foil Gems are popped on two of the flowers on the piece  of Sunny Days Designer Series Paper.

A greeting is stamped in Memento Black ink on a label that has been cut using a die from Thoughtful Expressions Dies.  It is adhered in the middle of a panel of Sunny Days Designer Paper and adhered to the card base.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of Sunny Days Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
